On 7 July 2022, Germany issued the latest in it’s annual lighthouse stamp series. This stamp features Friedrichsort Lighthouse which is located in the Kiel Förde north of the eastern entrance to the Kiel Canal. The light has flashing and continuous white sectors as well as flashing red and green sectors marking shipping channels in the förde.

On 3 January 2022, Germany issued a stamp showing a stylized lighthouse with a fountain pen nib in place of the lantern. It also shows a letter folded in the form of a toy boat. Should we assume that this stamp was issued to encourage letter writing?
