Last Thursday I got two postcards: one from Austria and one from Germany.
The card from Austria shows various views of Freistadt. Freistadt is a small town in the Austrian State of Upper Austria and the administrative centre of the District Freistadt. It is known for having one of the last intact city walls in Austria.
Located at crossroads of a valuable salt and iron trade route, a court was created in the town in 1220. As no exact documents of the town's foundation exist, this year is usually regarded as its foundation year and to celebrate this year's 800th anniversary a special stamp was issued on 23rd May 2020. This stamp with its special postmark was used on this card. The definitive showing a herbarized lady's slipper (issued 15-01-2008) was used as well.
Thank You very much Anita!
