The green 6 + 4 Pfennig surcharge shows the first two automobiles in the world, the Benz three-wheeler and the motorized carriage from Gottlieb Daimler, the world's first four-wheeled automobile. The other postage stamps also document German automotive history: the red 12 + 8 Pfennig, the motorsport highlights of that time, the two Silver Arrows from Mercedes-Benz and Autounion and the blue 25 + 10 Pfennig, a sensation at the time , already history today, the VW Beetle, a design by Ferdinand Porsche.
The cancellation postmark for this first-day card originated from Berlin-Charlottenburg for the automobile exhibition.
