German graphic designer Eduard Sauer was a designer of packaging, posters, postage stamps, banknotes, ex-libris, and trademarks. He studied applied and advertising graphics at the United States School of Free and Applied Arts in the Berlin suburb of Charlottenburg. From 1936, he lived in Berlin working as a freelancer but later moved to Baden-Baden. For the Berlin Olympics Sauer designed some postage stamps that were not selected for use. It was not until 1969, that he was finally successful in designing stamps for the German Federal Mail. The submitted stamp designs show symbolic representations of various sports, including non-Olympic sports.
