It was part of a 1933 set of nine semi-postal stamps from Germany. They were the first stamps of a commemorative nature issued by the Third Reich and each features a scene from one of Wagner's operas. Semi-postal stamps are sold with a surcharge above their postal rate value to fund a specific (usually charitable) cause. The "cause" for these stamps was stated as "emergency assistance" and all have swastikas as watermarks. The scenes featured are Tannhauser, Der Fliegende Hollander, Das Rheingold, Die Meistersinger, Die Walkure, Siegried, Tristan und Isolde, Lohengrin, and Parsifal.
