Germany: The 50th Anniversary of "Playmobil" - "50 Years of Play, Fun, & Variety"

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the brand "Playmobil". Founded in 1974 by German inventor Hans Beck, Playmobil began with a simple idea: to inspire imaginative play through miniature figures and detailed playsets. Today, Playmobil is produced by the Brandstätter Group headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany. The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm (3.0 in) tall (1:24 scale) human figure with a smiling face. The figures can bee seen on the stamp below, the face on the First-Day-Cancellation.

Located next to the Playmobil headquarters in Zirndorf lies the Playmobil FunPark. Its a popular amusement park which spans over 90,000 square meters, offering an immersive playground for children and families to explore. The card below was sent from there.
