Naumburg (German pronunciation: (ˈnaÊŠmbÊŠÉ̯k) is a town in Germany, on the Saale River. It is in the district Burgenlandkreis in the Bundesland of Saxony-Anhalt.
It appears to me to be an undenominated numbered sheet that has was probably printed for a 25th Philatelic Exhibition. The printing is so light on the sheet I can't make out what it says other than '25 Jubre Philatelie'.
Perhaps it was a handout or something that was sold as a souvenir at a Philatelic Exhibition?
I'm just guessing of course!

The text reads:
25 Jahre Philatelie im deutschen Kulturbund
2. Kreis-Briefmarken-Austellung 1970
des Kreisverbandes Naumburg - Nebra
The German "Kulturbund" was the Cultural Association of the DDR, founded in 1945 by the Soviet occupational forces in the eastern part of occupied Germany in order to create a "democratic and antifascistic" cultural life in the eastern zone, what was later to become the DDR.
In fact it was more meant to install a state-led and state-controlled socialist culture. All kinds of cultural societies were grouped together in a federation: the Kulturbund. Philately was also an activity that was incorporated, and this souvenirsheet commemorates the fact that in 1970 the Kulturbund existed 25 years, and philately was part of it for the same period.
To celebrate there obviously was a stampexhibition in Naumburg, the city best known for its cathedral with the socalled "Stifterfiguren", medieval statues of the nobles who had founded the church. The best known was/is Uta, the lady that is shown on the s/s. She was also the main inspiration for the evil queen in Walt Disney's Snowwhite.
