This official Ersttagsblatt (10/1989) continues the "Für die Jugend" (For the Youth) semi-postal series released on April 20, 1989. Like the previous set, these stamps benefit the Stiftung Deutsche Jugendmarke e. V., supporting cultural and social youth projects.
While the previous sheet focused on performers like acrobats and jugglers, this set highlights the grander scale and iconic imagery of the circus:
Elefantengruppe (60+30 Pf): Depicts a classic elephant performance group.
Ballerina auf dem Pferd (70+30 Pf): Showcases the tradition of equestrian artistry.
Clown (80+35 Pf): Features the essential circus comedian, a role that traces back to early theater and street performance.
Zirkuszelt (100+50 Pf): Illustrates the "Big Top" and wagons, symbolizing the nomadic and adventurous nature of the circus.
