IMOS Honors Walther Tröger at 2022 Annual Meeting

The IMOS group will convene its annual meeting on May 20th-22nd, 2022 in Munich. The city celebrates this year the 50th anniversary of the Olympic Summer Games in 1972.

We have prepared and ordered a special postmark for our meeting, suitable for collections. The theme is IOC member and honorary member Walther Tröger, who died in December 2020. Apart from being a good friend of the German Olympic collectors (and an honorary member of the IMOS), we remember his contributions to the success of the 2010 World Olympic Collectors’ Fair in Cologne. He was also an integral part of the MUNICH OLYMPICS – as mayor of the Olympic village, involved in the negotiations with the Palestinian terrorists.
