No. 221. Proclamation.
Berlin, 24 April 1868.
A Postal Treaty was concluded between the North German Confederation and Denmark on 7–9 April this year, which shall enter into force on 1 May this year.
Pursuant to this Treaty, the following postage rates shall apply to postal services between the territory of the North German Confederation and Denmark.
The total postage, up to a weight of 1 lod inclusive, is:
for prepaid letters to Denmark, 2 groschen or 7 kr.,
for unstamped letters from Denmark, 4 groschen or 14 kr.,
with the proviso that, for ordinary letters dispatched from the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, including the Principality of Lübeck, as well as from the Free and Hanseatic Cities of Lübeck, Travemünde and Hamburg, and intended for Denmark, and vice versa, the postage shall be set, up to a weight of 1 lod inclusive,
for prepaid letters to Denmark at 1½ Groschen,
for unstamped letters from Denmark at 3 Groschen,
and
that for local letters between the North German and Danish border towns, a postage rate of 1 Groschen for prepaid letters and 2 Groschen for unstamped letters shall apply.
If the weight of the letter exceeds one lod, the double of the aforementioned rate for letters shall be charged up to the fixed maximum weight of 15 lod.
Printed matter and samples may be sent at a reduced postage rate of 3/4 Groschen or 3 kr. respectively for every 2½ lod inclusive. However, if the amounts set out below exceed twice the postage rate for franked letters, only the latter amount shall be payable.
Printed matter and samples must be franked, if possible using postage stamps. Furthermore, printed matter and samples are subject to the same conditions of dispatch as those governing domestic postal services within the North German postal system.
It is permitted to send letters, printed matter and samples by registered post. Registered items must always be franked and are subject to the same postage as ordinary franked items of the same kind, subject to the addition of a registered post fee of 2 groschen or 7 kreuzer. The sender of a registered item may, by making a note to that effect on the address side of the letter, request that the receipt, completed and signed by the recipient, be sent to them. For the aforementioned return receipt, the sender shall pay an additional fee of 2 groschen or 7 kreuzer.
To any location in Denmark where there is a post office (postal town), sums of up to 50 thaler may be sent by postal order. Payment is made using a standard postal order form.
The fee amounts to 4 Groschen or 14 Kreuzer, regardless of the amount of the postal order, provided, however, that for postal orders from the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, together with the Principality of Lübeck, as well as from Hamburg, Lübeck and Travemünde to Denmark, where the amount is less than or equal to 25 thalers, a fee of only 2 groschen is payable. The fee must always be paid by the sender, if possible by using postage stamps.
Express letters are accepted for delivery to any location in Denmark where there is a post office. For such letters, the postage and the express fee must always be paid in advance by the sender; the express fee for letters to Denmark amounts to 2 Sgr.
Post offices will, upon request, provide information regarding the handling and valuation of express mail consignments to Denmark.
