(About this soundlisten); German: Allenstein (About this soundlisten);
Old Polish: Holstin; Old Prussian: Alnāsteini or Alnestabs; Lithuanian:
Olštynas) is a city on the Łyna River in northeastern Poland. Olsztyn is
the capital of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, and is a city with
county rights.
After the defeat of Germany in World War I, the
East Prussian plebiscite was held in 1920 to determine whether the
populace of the region, including Allenstein, wished to remain in German
East Prussia or become part of Poland. In order to advertise the
plebiscite, special postage stamps were produced by overprinting German
stamps and sold on 3 April of that year. One kind of overprint read
PLÉBISCITE / OLSZTYN / ALLENSTEIN, while the other read TRAITÉ / DE /
VERSAILLES / ART. 94 et 95 inside an oval whose border gave the full
name of the plebiscite commission. Each overprint was applied to 14
denominations ranging from 5 Pfennigs to 3 Marks.
