The Stamp Festival took place in Hamburg-Hamm on October 3 and 4, 2025, featuring Juniorposta, the DPhJ Foundation Competition, and team championships accompanying Philatelists’ Day.
In addition to the supporting program, there were several dealers and information stands on site, such as the Philatelistic Library Hamburg, and also the BPP e. V. advice stand. On October 3, there was also an “Postal Stamps” experience team with a special postmark.
The BPP stand was set up directly in the entrance area, and as expected, the public showed a high level of interest in advice and general information on auditing.
A large number of consultations were held, some of which were very detailed. Fortunately, there were no submissions of worthless bundles of documents; most of the cases involved qualified issues. There was also a clear sense of general interest in the work of the BPP, as such events provide an opportunity to obtain first-hand information.
The organizer expressed its gratitude to the BPP for participating and to the large team on site:
Matthias Bock, Hans-Ludwig Kramp, Dr. Leif Kramp, Jörg Mathies, Claus Petry, and Heinrich Wasels.
For its part, the BPP thanked the organizer for covering the stand costs and providing for the team during the two days of the trade fair.
