Wittlich, Lehrerseminar
Often, cards have a backstory we wouldn’t ordinarily know. This is an authentically old, unmailed postcard that had been pasted in an album for many years. On the front, the original owner has noted” “Our barracks”. On the back, with large album remnants, a 1919 date. We can connect those dots. Grade: 5

Kloster Lichtenthal, Claufurgarten und Einfiedelkapelle
Near Baden-Baden, this abbey has a very long but limited (sort of) history, as demonstrated in this Wikipedia excerpt: “The Prince’s Chapel was built in 1288, and until 1372 was the burial place of the Margraves of Baden. Here is also the tomb of the foundress, Margravine Irmengard. Besides the tombs, the high altar and several side altars, this chapel also contains the statue of the ‘Madonna of the Keys’, so called because in times of danger the abbey keys are entrusted to her. (The abbey has until now survived every danger unscathed, as is related in a Baden-Baden drinking song).” Some of us have an expression for this: damned by faint praise. Unused B&W card. Grade: 1

Baden-Baden, Trinkhalle
We saw “Trinkhalle” and we thought “beer”, but not so: Wikipedia tells us that “The Trinkhalle (pump house) in the Kurhaus spa complex was built 1839–42 by Heinrich Hübsch in a complementary architectural style as the spa’s main building. The 90-metre arcade is lined with frescoes and benches. The spa waters are said to have curative powers.” Good beer cannot be too far away, though. The card was mailed long ago and has two clear postmarks though we can’t interpret them; the stamp is also still there. Creased upper right corner, more visible on the back than on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 20521460
Price: $5.00
Die Loreley
The Lorelei, spelled Loreley in German, is a 132-metre-high (433 ft), steep slate rock on the right bank of the River Rhine at Sankt Goarshausen, part of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 1930s Loreley Amphitheatre is on top of the rock. We can’t quite make out from the postmark when this card was mailed with its two stamps — but it was, and we have it now. Some creasing on lower left corner. Grade: 2

Price: $2.00
St. Goar and St. Goarshausen, multiple views
Sankt Goar is a town on the west bank of the Middle Rhine in the Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde Hunsrück-Mittelrhein, whose seat is in Emmelshausen. We tell you this, from Wikipedia, to remind you what fun it can be to try to enter place descriptions for locations we don’t otherwise know. This card was mailed years ago from Italy (not Germany) with two stamps and indistinct postmark. There’s also a tape abrasion on the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 20521464T

Seilbahn Elbsee-Zugspitzgipfel mit Elbsee
Wikipedia tell us that “The Zugspitze, at 2,962 m above sea level, is the highest peak of the Wetterstein Mountains and the highest mountain in Germany. It lies south of the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria, and the Austria–Germany border is on its western summit.” That’s clear enough, but we’re not sure of the perspective on this unused card — unused, that is, apart from a large rubber-stamped commemorative “chop” highlighting some mountain venue. Grade: 1

Code: 20521471
Price: $4.00
