On Monday I got a postcard from Germany and my first cards from Malaysia.
The card from Germany shows Sanssouci in Brandenburg's capital Potsdam. I bought this postcard when I visited Sanssouci last year and sent it to Berlin to get a special postmark.
Sanssouci was built between 1745 and 1747 at the behest of Frederick the Great. Sanssouci is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin". The Palaces and Parks were constructed between 1730 and 1916. The area is 500 ha large and on the area are 150 buildings. The World Heritage Site exists since 1990.
Stamp:
800 years Dessau (issued 01-07-2013)
with special postmark celebrating the 175th anniversary of the railway line between Potsdam and Berlin and the Day of the Stamp
