 issued May 5th,1987 The Köhlbrand-bridge is a highway-bridge in Hamburg,opened in 1974. It crosses the Köhlbrand,one of the side-arms of the River Elbe. It is the second-longest road-bridge in Germany,with a total length,two ramps included,of 3618 m. The bridge is proof,how fast modern times are changing: In 2012 the government of Hamburg decided,to demolish the bridge. The reason: at low tide the maximum height of ships passing under the bridge can be 53 m.However some of the recent built huge container-ships need more height. No decision has been made till now,wether to build a higher bridge,or to replace it with a tunnel,what would allow unlimited high ships to pass. |

 issued Oct.19th,1973 Saarbrücken has not only "bridges" in her name,but also various bridges crossing the River Saar. The shown bridge is the oldest of Saarbrücken,named,as one might guess,Alte Brücke (old bridge). Built 1546/47 it has seen many alterations and is open today for pedestrians and cyclists. |

 issued July 10th,1956/May 12th,1959/April 17th,1974 All stamps were issued in commemoration of the "Luftbrücke" (Aerial Bridge oe Airlift) 1948/49. On June 24th,1948 Russia closed all road- and waterways,that connected West-Berlin to West-Germany. They also cut all ties to East-Germany,foremost cutting the electricity-supplies. The allies,mainly the USA and the UK,answered with the establishment of the "Luftbrücke". It should bring in all necessary goods for the 2.2 Mill. inhabitants of West-Berlin by air-transport. Berlin´s three airports had to be rebuilt to handle that much air-traffic.The Berlin-Blocade ended on May 12th,1949. All in all 277.000 landings and starts,a maximum of 1400 on single day took place. Due to that the aim of the blocade,to strangle West-Berlin,failed and Russia gave in and reopened roads and canals. |
