This set of stamps is entitled 'Was Weisst Du Von Der Welt?' (What Do You Know of the World?) and was issued as premiums with pasta products produced by Birkel.  The subject matter of the stamps and associated album cover 14 or so topics including ancient animal and plant life, interesting people, sports, architecture, engineering, etc.  Notes: (a) There may be variations in some of the stickers; I own what appears to be two versions of sticker #61 (Version 'a' shows a red arrow primate family tree and Version 'b' shows a text version of the primate family tree; the back text is also different, (b) I do not have a keyboard with special German letters and  the list from which I created my checklist was very hard to read so you will find errors and © my limited research has turned up two dates for this issue; the most common cited is 1962 but some web sources indicate a 1955 date.  I do not know which is valid or if perhaps the 1962 set is a reissue of an earlier 1995 set.  This could possibly explain the variation described above.
