[German Version only actually]
Die Briefmarkenserie "Blumen" will die Menschen mit modernen und gleichzeitig zeitlosen Motiven auf die Schönheit und Vielfalt der Blumen in Deutschland aufmerksam machen. Die farbenfrohen und stimmungsvollen Darstellungen sollen dazu beitragen, die in unserer hektischen Zeit oft kaum mehr wahrgenommenen kleinen Freuden des Alltags wieder neu zu entdecken und zu genießen.

Der Sonnenhut - nach dem schwedischen Botaniker Olaus Rudbeck auch "Rudbeckie" genannt - verschönert viele Gärten mit seiner meist intensiven gelben Blütenpracht. Im Volksmund wird diese Pflanzenart auch mit anderen Namen wie beispielsweise "Sonnaster", "Soldatenblume", "Falsche Sonnenblume" oder "Goldblume" bezeichnet. Es gibt etwa 30 verschiedene Arten. Die Größen der Stauden variieren von 30 Zentimetern bis zu zwei Metern Höhe. Es gibt einjährig und mehrjährig wachsende Arten.

Die ursprüngliche Heimat des Sonnenhuts ist Nordamerika. Dort wurde er von den Indianern bereits vor Jahrhunderten als Heilpflanze gegen Husten, Halsschmerzen und Mandelentzündung eingesetzt. Die Gattung "Echinacea" ist heute Wirkstoff vieler bekannter Arzneien. Auf der Briefmarke ist eine der beliebtesten Arten abgebildet: die Sorte "Herbstsonne" oder "Autumn Sun"

PS: Hope some people can help me to translate .. Thanks a lot !

[Information from Germany Post : Translation by Helga]

[English Version]
Today the Gallimarkt in Leer is with about half a million visitors the biggest fair in East Frisia and celebrates from the 8th to the 12th of October, 2008 the 500th anniversary of his first-time happening. The fair takes place every year on the five days after the second Wednesday in October, the day of the holy Gallus. From former days up to now the farmers should have yield for the harvest. In 1508 the sovereign of East Frisia, Count Edzard (born in 1461 and died on the 14th of February, 1528 ), obtained Leer the rights to have a fair. Originally the fair to "Gallus" was a cattle market. Nevertheless, it won on and on in meaning and developped, finally, to Leer`s most popular fair , also well-known wide outside Leer.

Im Jahr 1508 erteilte der Landesherr von Ostfriesland, Edzard der Große (im Jahr 1461 geboren und am 14. Februar 1528 gestorben), dem Flecken Leer die Marktrechte. Ursprünglich war der Markt zu »Gallus« ein Kram- und Viehmarkt. Er gewann jedoch immer weiter an Bedeutung und entwickelte sich schließlich zu einem weit über die Grenzen Leers hinaus beliebten Volksfest.
