DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST BERLIN on 16 July 1981 issued a 60-pfennig postage stamp, commemorating the Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin, also known as the International Radio Exhibition Berlin, or IFA.
The stamp featured the building which was inaugurated on 22 January 1931 as the Haus des Rundfunks ("House of Broadcasting"), on Masurenallee in Berlin-Westend. It was the official seat of the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft. Designed in 1929 by the architect Hans Poelzig (1869-1936), this triangular-shaped building was the world's first self-contained broadcasting centre and included a large concert hall.
A total of 7,820,000 stamps were printed using an offset lithography method.
