Prior to the German unification of 1871, individual German states and entities started to release their own stamps such as North German Confederation ( 1857 ), Bavaria ( 1849 ), Baden ( 1851 ), Bergedorf ( 1866 ), Braunschweig ( 1852 ), Bremen ( 1855 ), Hamberg ( 1859 ), Oldenberg ( 1852 ), Prussia ( 1850 ), Saxony ( 1850 ), Schleswig - Holstein ( 1850 ), Heligoland ( 1886 ), Lubeck ( 1859 ) and Wurttemberg ( 1851 ). After the unification, only Bavaria and Wurttemberg retained their postal authority to continue producing stamps until March 31 1920.
