Stamps of this design are issues of West Saxony, which Scott lists after the DDR section.

Ii's listed in Michel as 149X or 149Y. It's one of a set of 12 values issued in 1946 for use in West Saxony after World War II which was part of the Soviet Occupation Zone. The difference between 149X and 149Y is the orientation of the watermark. But since 149X catalogs 4000 euros for MNH and 149Y catalogs 0.70 euros (for the least expensive tone) it's guaranteed to be 149Y.

This stamp has 3 shades, one of which has a high catalog value.
My stamp has the color "braunlichlila" with a value of 0.7 Euro.
If your stamp has the color "dunkel rotlila", then the value is 5500 Euro.
Success
