The Bizone, formed by the merger of the American and British occupation zones in Germany, issued a series of stamps in 1948. These stamps were part of the Allied cast joint edition and featured denominations from 2 Pfennig. The Bizone stamps were used in the region that included the states of Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Lower Saxony, Bremen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse, Bavaria, and Württemberg-Baden.Some notable examples of Bizone stamps from 1948 include:
- A complete set of 13 stamps on a registered cover to Aarhus, Denmark, cancelled in Triberg on April 12, 1948.
- A fine card featuring the complete set of stamps for the Exportmesse Hannover 1948, cancelled on May 23, 1948.
- Definitive stamp series, including the Allied cast joint edition, issued in 1948 for the American zone.
These stamps not only served as a means of postal communication but also reflected the unique historical context of the Bizone, which was a significant step towards the eventual establishment of West Germany.
