Allenstein is an area in northeastern Europe. After World War I, the German district of Allenstein in East Prussia was occupied by the Allies in order to organize a plebiscite or referendum on behalf of the League of Nations to determine whether Allenstein would remain part of East Prussia and thus the German Empire or would join Poland. In the spring of 1920, special stamps were issued for the plebiscite area of Allenstein. In the summer of that year, Allenstein was returned to the German Empire, with the exception of a few border villages that became Polish.
