There are two special postmarks of identical design, shown below. The left postmark, from Marburg, translates Commemoration Festival at Philipps University. It was at Philipps University that Behring was a professor in 1895. The right postmark was used at Leverkusen, and reads, Commemaration Festival in Marburg. It was in Marburg that the diphtheria antitoxin was first produced for commercial use. Both of these postmarks have a facsimile of Behring's signature, and were used from 4 to 6 December 1940.
