Although this website is a work in progress you can already see several contributions made by Arge Danzig, Danzig Report, The Danzig Philatelist, and the Polish P.W.F. Ziemia Gdańska.

We have several collections and exhibits, miscellaneous items and pictures on the website covering Free City Danzig and Danzig postcards and Danzig history. More information on Danzig covers, Danzig cancels and Danzig articles is in the pipeline.

If you would like to be informed of the changes, please register and we will send you site information when it becomes available.

We are still looking for materials and articles in English, German and Polish and for volunteers for translations into or from Polish, German and English. If you would like to help to make this a unique philatelic and historical website please contact us.

We are always looking for interesting articles and stories about Danzig and its surroundings to publish on the website to make it a mutual tool for our hobby, know-how and as a great source of information for all collectors, students and visitors.

To overcome borders, seas, oceans and language barriers we will attempt to make the site, articles and stories multilingual whenever we can.

International Air-Post-Exhibition Luposta 1932
You will find over 400 pages, scans and clearly readable texts of nearly all issues that were printed between 1931 and 1932 for the Luposta 1932 Exhibition and Fair. Everything you wanted to know about this philatelic exhibition can be exlusively found in one total packet, an opportunity for everyone who is interested in this fascinating subject. There is a large number of articles covering the Luposta 1932 Exhibition and Fair which was a great introduction of airmail philately in the Free City Danzig towards collectors as well as an effort to atract tourists in those rather poor years.

Gerhard Schüler
We have uploaded some most interesting articles and subjects from the early days of the Free City Danzig philately, such as descriptions of stamps, a wide choice of cancels, dates, Postoffices, the first errors and rare plate faults, the early steps and development of the first "Free City Danzig" katalogue, and a general information all concerning the development of information for the collectors those early days.

Perfins for Business use Danzig Stadt
We have added an extra website of Danzig Lochungen at http://www.lochungen.danzig.org (in the Main Menu under Our Links). In English they are known as Perfins (a contraction of PERForated INitials). Peter Witkop has done a lot of efforts in order to bring one part of his collection under the eyes of our members and others who are interested in this fascinating subject.

Danzig Gruppe Danzig Nyt
There are some 20 magazines of the Danzig Gruppe covering the years 1992 to
2002. The magazines are only in Danish but nevertheless we see that a lot of
Interest is there for reading or seeing them. Some of the scans are not
perfect, but it will improve with the time.

Briefmarken Rundschau
I'm proud to announce that I have the Briefmarken Rundschau of 1920 and 1921 complete in a book form. The only problem was that there was
just no time for writing down all those articles of interest. Nevertheless our friend Gerhard Simon, also known as our fastest and best typewriter artist in the ArGe, has been so kind to help me and all the members as well as others in spreading the knowledge. A great, warm and personal Thank You Very Much for those 260 articles.
