I have this series of items that I was hoping someone here could help ID. They all say Sterbekasse which translates as Death Fund in German, but I can't find anything about these online. Any help would be much appreciated.
These appear to be life-insurance contribution stamps for an endowment policy with the "Heimat" insurance fund or pool.
These originated from groups of people, like guilds, employees of a company, or a neighbourhood that set up a kind of solidarity fund to pay for the funeral of the participant.
