Katharina von Bora 1499-1552 was born into a noble family of Saxony. At the age of 16 she became a nun.Because of the Reformation she left the monastery in 1523. As a former nun she could not return to her family.She had no money and got help from friends. She lived for a while in the household of the painter Lucas Cranch the older.The stamp is designed after a painting by Cranach.She had a long lasting friendship with Cranach,who was a friend of Luther as well. In 1525 she married Martin Luther.They had six children,born from 1526 to 1533. She was a great help to Luther,handling the financial problems of the family and also of Luthers works.

hrdoktorx Your SPM stamp reminds me of a lady who came to my show table inquiring about "Women Wearing Glasses." All I could think of was the Susan B. Anthony 50c value from the US Liberty series.

Lili Palmer 1914-1986 and Romy Schneider 1938-1982 were (film-) actresses,who spend many years abroad. Palmer,because being jewish,emigrated in 1933 to England and later to the US.In 1954 she returned
to Germany and was quite successful,moved later to Switzerland.
Schneider was very successful in her jounger years,but disliked her very well payed parts in german "Kitsch-Films" and
moved on to France.Living together with Alain Delon,she soon became one of the leading ladies of the french cinema. Alcohol,drugs and men are said to be causally related to her early death.
