Germany is a Central European country on the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Over time, many stamps for local use were issued locally.

Neutral Moresnet was a Belgian-German condominium at the border triangle of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany (until it was added to Belgium in 1920). It belonged to both the Belgian and the German postal area and stamps from both countries were used. Stamps for local use were issued in 1886, but these were declared illegal by the Belgian-German government after two weeks without having been in use.

After World War II, the German Empire was occupied by the Allies and divided into American, British, French and Soviet zones. In the period from 1945 to 1948, some German cities, especially in the Soviet zone, issued local stamps whose usefulness is not always clear. Often they were simply intended to raise money for reconstruction.
