Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) and Friedrich Schiller (1759–1805) are by far the two most famous and most influential German poets.

The 12 feet tall bronze Goethe–Schiller Monument in front of the German National Theater in Weimar was created in 1857 by sculptor Ernst Friedrich August Rietschel. Over the years, it has sparked numerous copies and today one can find replicas of the original monument anywhere from San Francisco, California to Anting, China.

There were several stamps issued depicting the monument; then first one, issued in July 1990 was one of the last East German stamps.

The stamp we picked was issued in August 1997 with a denomination of 100 Deutsche Pfennig, which is equivalent to one Deutschmark.
