Hope this may be of some use.

The next significant event in the history of the Private Posts
was the start of a full letter service by the Berlin Packetfahrt
in June 1886. The Packetfahrt had been founded in 1884 as
a parcel carrier (as its name implies) and it became later a
carrier of persons by omnibus. It had begun to handle bulk
printed matter as early as December 1884 but in January
1886 it decided to compete with the Reichspost for all
forms of mail in Berlin. There is some doubt over precisely
when the service started and it is possible that the
Packetfahrt was pre-empted, if only by a few days, by
the short-lived Berliner Verkehrs-Anstalt HANSA.

The lead taken by the Packetfahrt proved to be
an inspiration to others. It started the snowball rolling
down the hill and by the end of 1886 a further 29
companies were in business. Sadly, the HANSA was
not among them as it had closed its doors on
19 November that year. Ultimately, some 250 private
postal companies operated in 164 towns and cities before
the Private Post era was brought to a close in 1900.

The key to the success of the Private Posts lay, first,
in their ability to obtain and retain the trust and esteem
of their customers and, second, in their ability to compete
with the Reichspost by undercutting its postal tariffs.

It was not easy to establish the former and many of
those firms which did not soon went to the wall. On the
other hand, with a relatively densely populated area
of operations, compared to the Reichspost's nation-wide
responsibility, it was not difficult to undercut the
Reichspost.

Typically, the Private Posts charged 2 pf for postcards
and addressed printed matter, and 3 pf for letters;
the Reichspost flat rate for these mail categories
was 5 pf rising to 10 pf for letters in Berlin. The
Private Posts, in addition, made handsome profits
from the mass distribution of unaddressed printed
matter and many of them also operated parcel
post services - which, incidentally, were always a
matter for private enterprise and which were never
subject to the Postal Law.

A German stamp from what is now a French city!

well spotted.
you being the recipient of todays Sherlock Holmes award.

Recently (I think it was Onetoe)
posted a postmark on an Austrian stamp,
when I checked it, it was now in Ukraine.

Thanks for all the information. I did not realize the stamp was that old. I recently re-found it in my old childhood album. I previously posted one of the Packetfahrt stamps Rod mentioned in another thread, here is the stamp:

Strasbourg is in Alsace-Lorraine currently in France but at that time was part of the German Empire. You can find German private posts in other countries Belgium, Poland, Russia & Lithuania.

Amazing geographical knowledge warrehouse,
and a nice stamp BeeSee,
either it's a good example of German precision
with hand operated perforators, or they subcontracted
the work out to specialist printers.
