the German territory of the Saar
contested between France and Germany
after World
War I the Saar was to be administered by the League of Nations establishing its own postal administration.
The first stamps of the Saar were contemporary German stamps overprinted
"Sarre" and with a heavy solid bar striking out the
"DEUTSCHES REICH". The stamps of Bavaria were overprinted similarly
followed by more German overprints reading "SAARGEBIET".
Surcharges of 20pf, 5m, and 10m on German stamps came out in early 1921,
followed by the Saar's first definitive series. In 1921, the series was surcharged in centimes and francs, and in
1922 it was replaced by a new series of same designs.
The Madonna of Blieskastel was commemorated by a pair of stamps in 1925,
followed by new definitive series . In 1934, in preparation
for the plebiscite the following year, ended in favor of rejoining
Germany, this series was overprinted "VOLKSABSTIMMUNG / 1935"; the
plebiscite in 1935
After World War II, Saar come under the
administration of France and a first set of definitives came out in
mid-1947, denominated in German currency, but replaced in November by French currency denominations.
The French established a protectorate in 1947, and in
1948 issued a new series inscribed "SAARPOST",
The return of the Saar to German control was
commemorated in
1957 by a special stamps, then followed shortly thereafter by
definitives inscribed both "SAARLAND" and "DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST".
Additional commemoratives appeared regularly for several more years
while the German monetary system was re-established.
