Files in Category:Karl Hans Walter

Per Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Germany German stamps are copyrighted until at least 70+ years after the designer's death. In the case the stamps are designed by Karl Hans Walter and Gerhard Schulz. While I couldn't find any information about the later, Karl Hans Walter died in 1999. So these images are copyrighted until at least 2,070. If not longer depending on the URAA and when Gerhard Schulz died. Although I'm fine with the images being un-deleted in 2,070 if it's unclear how long Schulz has been dead for.

Deleted: per nomination. Only File:DBP 1954 200 Kollwitz.jpg and File:Lorenz Werthmann (timbre RFA).jpg are by Walter and Gerhard Schulz, the other three are by Walter and Leon Schnell (1888–1961). All of them are named on the stamps, so 70 years pma do apply in Germany; US copyright for these 1954 stamps runs to the end of 2049. The Walter/Schnell stamps can be restored in 2070, while the Walter/Schulz stamps can be restored in 2075 with {{PD-old-assumed}}. If someone finds out when Schulz died, those two can be restored 70 years pma of either Walter or Schulz, whoever of them died later. --Rosenzweig τ 11:07, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
