people - Roland Kaiser, Schlager star, has now his own stamps
Loving you, sewing you: Singer Roland Kaiser (72) now has his own stamps. The occasion is the 50th anniversary of the singer, as the German Post announced, presenting the designs today in Bonn. Kaiser is the first Schlager star in Germany ever to be honored with his own stamps.
"As a former telegram boy in my younger years, I would never have believed that I would be given the great honor of receiving a special stamp of the German Post on the occasion of my 50th anniversary on stage," the singer explained. "I am already looking forward to the day when I will hold a letter in my hand for the first time with my own stamp." The Kaiser stamps have a face value of 100 cents each - with which one can frank Kompaktbriefe within Germany.
Why no Kaiser face?
The names of four major Roland Kaiser hits can be read on the stamps: "Santa Maria", "Why didn't you say no?", "Love can save us", and "Loving you". In addition, they are adorned with the signature of the Schlager legend. What may be painful for some fans: Kaiser's portrait is not visible. That's why. In Germany, no living persons can be depicted on official stamps. Exceptions are made only for the Federal President and the Pope.
The "Kaiser-Post office" is coming
The stamps are limited to 500,000 pieces and can be ordered online or by phone from July 13th, according to the Post. In addition, there will be a special "Kaiser-Post office" at a Kaiser concert in Cologne on July 13th, where they can be purchased.
