About EUROPA Stamps:

EUROPA Stamps are special stamps issued by European postal administrations.

They bear the official EUROPA logo, a PostEurop registered trademark under the aegis of PostEurop in which Europe is the central theme.

EUROPA stamp issues are among the most collected and most popular stamps in the world and have been issued for over 60 years.

Every year a new theme is assigned by PostEurop and all participating countries issue stamps with their own interpretation of the theme.

The theme for 2025 is "National Archeological Discoveries".

More about EUROPA Postage Stamps:

EUROPA Postage stamps (also known as Europa - CEPT - European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations - until 1992) are special stamps issued by European Postal Administrations/Enterprises and bears the official EUROPA logo, a PostEurop registered trademark under the aegis of PostEurop in which Europe is the central theme.

EUROPA stamps underline cooperation in the posts domain, aimed at promotion of philately. They also build awareness of the common roots, culture and history of Europe and its common goals.

As such, EUROPA stamp issues are among the most collected and most popular stamps in the world.

Since the first issue in 1956, EUROPA stamps have been a tangible symbol of Europe's desire for closer integration and co-operation.

In 1993, PostEurop became responsible for issuing EUROPA stamps.

When CEPT decided to focus more on telecommunications in 1993, PostEurop took over the management of the Europa issues. The CEPT logo was replaced by a new logo created by PostEurop i.e. the word "EUROPA" leaning towards the right hand side.

About EUROPA - National Archaeological Discoveries, Germany: Deutsche Post (German Post) has issued One Souvenir-Sheet of EUROPA Stamp of 0.95 Euro: Date of Souvenir Sheet issue: 08.05.2025:

A world cultural leap 40,000 years ago on the edge of the Swabian Jura:

40,000 years ago, a huge leap in the development of modern man took place at the point where the Swabian Jura meets the foothills of the Alps.

In the caves of the Ach and Lone valleys near Ulm, Ice Age man began to conceive and create figurative representations of animals, humans and hybrid creatures as well as the world's first musical instruments.

Nowhere else in the world have older comparable artefacts and musical instruments been found.

The delicately crafted sculptures are evidence of the emergence of the modern human spirit, which was expressed in art, symbols, music, rituals and beliefs. They show us the central and universal significance that art and music have always had for mankind.

The best-known finds of Ice Age art include figures such as the ‘Lion Man’, a mysterious hybrid of cave lion and human, the ‘Venus of Hohle Fels’, the oldest depiction of a human in the world, and the ‘Mammoth of Vogelherd’.

The skilfully crafted sculptures made of mammoth ivory are around 40,000 years old and measure between four and six centimetres in size. The lion man stands out from the group of figures with its exceptional size of 31 centimetres.

Numerous high-calibre originals, such as the Venus or the Lion Man, are on display in the Prehistoric Museum Blaubeuren and the Museum Ulm.

In addition, the Württemberg State Museum in Stuttgart and the Museum of the University of Tübingen also present Stone Age artefacts from the caves of the Swabian Alb.

The oldest figurative artworks and musical instruments known to mankind were discovered in the Hohle Fels, Geißenklösterle and Sirgenstein caves in the Achtal valley and in the Bockstein, Hohlenstein-Stadel and Vogelherd caves in the Lone valley.

In July 2017, UNESCO awarded these six caves and the surrounding landscapes the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site ‘Caves and Ice Age Art of the Swabian Jura’.

To this day, the two valleys of the Ach and Lone rivers remain largely unspoilt and invite you to take a journey back to the last Ice Age on a variety of hiking and cycling trails.
