On Monday I got eleven postcards including three from Germany.
One of the cards from Germany shows the Westwork of Corvey. The Abbey of Corvey was founded in 822. It was a Benedictine monastery and imperial abbey. In 1803 it was secularized. The Carolingian Westwork and the Civitas Corvey are since 2014 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
I got this card a few weeks ago in a cover.
On the backside there is a seal about Corvey's addition to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
With a matching stamp:
Abbey of Corvey (issued 01-03-2016)
with a special postmark showing also the Westwork of Corvey
Thank You very much Christine for sending me the card in an envelope!
