The Michel catalogue (MICHEL-Briefmarken-Katalog) is the largest and best-known stamp catalog in the German-speaking world.
First published in 1910, it has become an important reference work for philately.
In general these Michel stamp catalogues are more extensive in comparison to the English catalogues such as Scott and Stanley Gibbons.
In 2007 publisher Schwaneberger, decided to start a range of topical stamp catalogues but they seem to have difficulties in updating these
catalogues since the release dates keep being delayed.
