Last Thursday I got three postcards from Germany.
One of them shows the Town Hall of Aachen. The Town Hall of Aachen was built in the 14th century in the Gothic style and is today one of the two most important historic buildings in Aachen's old town. It includes parts of Charlemagne's palace. Although it was built as sign of civic freedom, it also includes a hall that was used for the traditional coronation feast that was part of the coronation ceremony of the Holy Roman Empire. Annually the Charlemagne Prize, a prize awarded for work done in the service of European unification, is awarded in the town hall and on the 22nd January 2019 the Treaty of Aachen, a renewal of the Élysée Treaty, was signed there by Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron.
I got this card a few weeks ago in a cover.
With a nice related stamp:
50 years Élysée Treaty (issued 02-01-2013)
It is a joint issue with France.
with a special postmark about this year's European Elections showing the Town Hall of Aachen
Thank You very much Marcel for sending me the card in an envelope!
I also got the special postmark on two covers.
