German Offices in Morocco year 1911 – MH/Used set

The German Offices in Morocco, also known as the Deutsch-Post in Marokko, refers to the postal and administrative presence of Germany in Morocco during the early 20th century. In 1911, Germany established its offices in Morocco following the signing of the Treaty of Fez, which recognized French control over Morocco while allowing for some degree of German economic and commercial interests in the region.

The German Offices in Morocco issued postage stamps specifically for use within the territory. These stamps were denominated in the currency of the German mark and often featured designs reflecting German imperial symbols or motifs related to Morocco.

The stamps of the German Offices in Morocco are sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and relatively short period of issuance. They provide insights into the diplomatic, economic, and colonial relations between Germany and Morocco during this period.

Following World War I, Germany’s colonial ambitions were curtailed by the Treaty of Versailles, and its overseas territories, including the German Offices in Morocco, were placed under the control of various Allied powers or gained independence. Therefore, the presence of German offices in Morocco was relatively short-lived, but it remains an important aspect of both philatelic and colonial history.
