Bauhaus stamps from Berlin, East Germany and Germany

On Thursday I bought the new German stamps.

This is one stamp pair I bought:

100 years Bauhaus (issued 04-04-2019)

I also bought the FDC of this stamp.

Recently I also bought some other Bauhaus related stamps for my collection. One stamp is from Berlin (issued 13-02-1986) and shows Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the Bauhaus' third director, and the other issue is from East Germany (issued 27-05-1980) and shows six Bauhaus-style buildings. If you want to know more about the Bauhaus check out my history blog. There I will publish a Bauhaus post soon.
