Item Description

Vintage (Circa 1936–1940) Nazi Germany Charity Poster Stamp 2 Reichmarks For Silesia From Liegnitz Piast Castle.

This Poster Stamp Was Most Likely Issued Between 1936 And 1940 By A Regional Cultural Or Heritage Preservation Organization In Liegnitz (Legnica), Then Part Of German Lower Silesia. The Text "Für Schlesien" ("For Silesia") And "Z. Liegnitzer" ("From Liegnitz") Suggest A Local Committee Or Fundraising Group Dedicated To Supporting Silesian Cultural Identity Or Restoration Projects, Specifically Centered Around The Historic Piasten­schloss (Piast Castle), A Landmark Associated With The Early Polish Piast Dynasty. During The Late 1930s, Similar Donation Labels Were Produced Across Germany As Part Of Local And National Efforts To Promote Historical pride, restore landmarks, and reinforce cultural identity—often under the umbrella of approved Nazi-era Heimat (homeland) or conservation movements. While This Stamp Bears No Explicit Nazi Symbolism, Its Timing And Messaging Suggest It Was Likely Associated With One Of The Many Heimatwerk, Kulturbund, Or Monument Protection Groups Active At The Time—possibly operating under regional authorities in Gau Schlesien (Silesian Province). The Use Of The “2 RM” (Reichsmark) Denomination Confirms It As A Fundraising Label Rather Than A Postal Stamp, With Proceeds Likely Supporting Restoration Work At The Piasten­schloss Or Promoting Silesian Heritage In The Face Of Increasing Centralization And Wartime Mobilization. Conclusion: Issued Circa 1936–1940 By A Local Cultural Fund Or Heimat Organization In Liegnitz, This Stamp Supported Silesian Heritage, Specifically The Piast Castle, During A Period Of Heightened Historical Nationalism In Pre-WWII Germany.
