Germany: Mönchengladbach

Last Tuesday I got a postcard from Germany.

It shows various views of Mönchengladbach. Mönchengladbach is a city in the German State of North Rhine-Westphalia. In 1921 Mönchengladbach became a big city and in 1975 it was merged together with Rheydt, another big city. Mönchengladbach is the only city in Germany with two main railway stations, one in Rheydt and one in Mönchengladbach. The card shows two museums, the Museum Abteiberg (lower left corner) and the Carnival Museum (upper right corner). The Carnival Museum was opened in 1977 and houses many mementos of the local carnival tradition. It was originally only housed in the old arsenal, which is said to be the slenderest house in Mönchengladbach, but in 2002 it expanded to the adjacent house as well.
