Germany: History of Heidelberg

On 25th June I got two postcards from Germany.

One of them is the Chronicle card of Heidelberg. Heidelberg was first mentioned in 1196. In 1386 the university was founded, which made the city a centre of Humanism and Reformation in the 15th and 16th century. It was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War and the Nine Years' War. Today it is a popular tourist destination.


With a matching stamp:
Heidelberg (from set of two) (issued 05-09-2013)


Thank You very much Ina!
