The postal area of the civil administration of the "Oberbefehlhaber Ost" (= "Supreme commander - East", shortly "Ober-Ost") was created in November 1915, a self-contained postal administration with own stamps began their works on the 15th of January, 1916. The postal area of the German-occupated territory encompassed ca. 108,808 km² in the northwestern territory of the then Russian Empire under embedding of:
- - the area of the later Lithuania
- - the area of the later Latvia (South Courland, from 1918 also North Courland and Livonia)
- - the area of the later Estonia (from 1918)
- - the area of the then Russian district of Augustow (contemporary Augustow in Poland)
- - the area of the then Russian district of Suwalki (contemporary Suwalki in Poland)
- - any areas in the contemporary Belarus
The stamps of the postal area Oberbefehlshaber Ost were valid to the 28th of December 1918, as all post offices of the German "Landespost im Baltikum" were closed.
