Deutsche Post DHL Group History

Franz von Taxis is credited with founding the modern postal system. On behalf of the far-reaching Habsburg family dynasty, he and his successors established a courier network that eventually covered all of Western Europe by the mid-16th century.

Permanent post stations were built about one day's journey apart. Over time, these stations grew into important economic centers, serving as meeting points and places of trade and exchange where travelers could expect to find taverns, inns, and stables. Post stations became crucial focal points in the development of villages and cities.

On April 21, 1646, Elector Friedrich Wilhelm issued postal regulations establishing regular postal service between Berlin, Münster, Osnabrück, Kleve, and Königsberg. The new decree was prompted by the Elector's interest in staying well informed of the current status of the peace negotiations in Osnabrück and Münster to end the Thirty Years' War.

The decree also granted private individuals, particularly merchants, the right to have their mail transported by the electoral postal system. Friedrich Wilhelm thus ignored the emperor's postal monopoly granted to the Postmaster General of the House of Thurn and Taxis.

Marie Mathias Nicolas Louis Danzas, a lieutenant in Napoleon's Grande Armée, entered the shipping and transport business after the battle of Waterloo. The company in the French Alsace region would soon bear his name and play an active role in the development of rail travel and steam navigation in the 19th century. In 1854, the first consolidated shipments were offered on the Zurich-Basel/St. Louis route.

Danzas assumed responsibility for international mail on behalf of the Swiss PTT in 1884. Delivery within 24 hours was guaranteed for the route between Switzerland and England.

In 1999, Danzas became part of Deutsche Post.
