The following post depots were closed prematurely:
a. Hagelsberg - on the first of June, 1937.
b. Wonneberg - on the 20th of October, 1936. Wonneberg was then changed to a post office (Poststelle) and received a postmark, accordingly.

The post depot Obra-Sud was using two different kinds of postmarks, one of which showed a large 221 on the right side next to the center of the postmark. While at all other post depots the postmarks had a dash between the upper and the lower lines, only Weichselmunde occurred without this dash.

All the postmarks except Zigankenberg showed the name of the post depot underneath, the dash between parenthesis. The height and type of the characters were different, as in:
Danzig 1 (Sandweg)              = all are 4mm high, in block letters.
Danzig 1 (Zigankenber)       = D from Danzig 7mm, other characters are 5mm, antique.
Danzig 1 (Krakau)                   = D from Danzig 6mm, other characters 4mm.
Danzig 1 (Klein-walddorf)   = two different heights of the name Klein-Walddorf.
The postmark Danzig 1 (Sandweg) is also known with a “bridge” in the center of the line, between the two lines.
