But you can check if the recipient’s address has “Antwort” in the first line. Then it’s free.
But I suspect that you need to provide a stamp.
Pro tip: Deutsche Posts sells stamps through their app. You get a code that you write onto the envelope.
No.
It means: put a valid stamp on it before you send it off, you goddamn idiot, please.
It means the exact opposite.
That means you have to pay sufficient postage. You have to buy the stamps in order to send them through the mailbox. The other alternative is to go to the Post physically and hand the letter to the Post official and he will charge you accordingly.
No it means quite the opposite. Something like “Please put an appropriate stamp on”
Nein, du musst bezahlen, zum Beispiel im Postshop eine Briefmarke kaufen. Der Preis variiert je nach Größe und Gewicht.
No, you have to pay, for example buy a stamp in the post shop. The price varies depending on size and weight.
The relevant part is the combination of the texts “Deutsche Post” in call caps and “Antwort” with the post horn logo. If these are present, you are allowed to post the letter without a stamp, and the recipient pays only the standard postage fee. If these are missing and there is no stamp either, the recipient pays a penalty on top of the postage fee.
The wording in the box where the stamp would normally go can be chosen, either to encourage the sender to put on a stamp anyway as is the case in your example (to save the recipient some money), or to tell them not to bother.
No it’s basically a passive aggressive reminder where to put the stamp and to make sure it’s the right amount. Commonly you also see “Bitte freimachen” which to me is a bit friendlier, but still stingy if it’s from a company.
If it’s an “Antwortschreiben” there will be something written on the front that contains “Antwort”, then you do not have to put postage.
I always send this Post without a stamp. It was never a problem.
It says you need to include sufficient postage.
You do know that translators actually exist, right??
German Post living in the 1900s. Even many German people don‘t know what „frankieren“ or „freimachen“ means. The should make the terminology easier to understand.
In your case you have to buy a stamp and stick it onto the letter.
There are 3 types of business reply (Werbeabtwort). This one asks you to pay, another says please pay if you have a stamp to hand and the other lets you know that the recipient is paying. For either of the options which ask you to pay, if you don’t, the recipient will be charged because the postage has to be covered and in order to receive your response.

Not really.

Same question asked 9 days ago : [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/germany/comments/rkoyv8/does_it_mean_the_post_can_be_sent_without_a_stamp/)
The [top response](https://www.reddit.com/r/germany/comments/rkoyv8/does_it_mean_the_post_can_be_sent_without_a_stamp/hpbdsdi/) recommends adding a stamp because otherwise the recipient ends up getting charged.

It means you need to make the letter Franconian. You could, for example, draw a picture of a Nürnberger Rostbratwürstchen on the envelope.
No that say that you habe to pay for delivery
Only if you are from Nuremberg and are enough Franconian.
Heißt, der Brief geht nach Franggn
