| |
| The first series was issued between 1913 and 1916 as Die Deutsche Ortswappen, but this name does not appear on the albums itself. The albums were issued as albums, not as loose pages as in the second series. Each album dealt with one or more Prussian provinces or other States. The albums were reprinted several times, there were 6 albums and 12 different editions:
| |
| | |
| The following albums were printed:

| |
| | |
| On the backside of the stamps the name and description of the arms, as well as the number of inhabitants was given. The latter was taken from the census of 1910. All stamps also have a small advertising for Kaffee Hag. In many cases, when the description of the arms was short, additional (advertising) texts were published.
| |
|
| |
|
| There are 6 variations of the arms known (Liebenwalde, Strasburg, Hengersberg, Wollin, Jaratschewo, Jarotschin), as well as several small changes on the decorations, the letters and the texts on the back.

| The books were not for sale in the bookshops, but had to be ordered at Kaffee Hag in Bremen in exchange for a number of stamps. Stamps were packed in the pre-packed coffee sold all over the country.

| | In the 1950s the company was thinking of continuing the album series, but in the end decided not to.

The books were send to doctors in 1964/65 (see letters below) as part of the promotion for the coffein-free coffee of the company. No advertising was made in the coffee or in journals contrary to the two previous series. The books could be obtained in regular bookshops and doctors could be kept udated by filling in a card (see images below).. |

For information on the company, see the overview of Coffee Hag albums.
Albums
The history of the German issues of the Kaffee Hag albums is complicated, due to two wars and the changes in the political situation in Germany.
Between 1913 and 1939 two series of albums have been issued.
The first series was started in 1913 and not finished due the First World War. In 1927 a second series was started, which was also not finished, due to the Second World War.
Although both series supposedly would contain around 3000 stamps, only 703 and around 2811 were actually published (not counting the numerous reprints and variations).
Due to the large number of stamps and the many other items connected to these albums, the two series are dealt with separately.
