On Thursday I got three postcards: two from Germany and one from Germany.
One of the cards from Germany shows various views of Freiburg im Breisgau. Freiburg im Breisgau or Freiburg for short is a big city in the German State of Baden-Württemberg, the fourth largest of its state and the southern most of Germany. It is one of the traditional German university towns and in recent years also became famous for its high standard of living and advanced environmental practices. Not only it is an popular tourist destinations for itself but also it is the primary tourist entry point to the Black Forest. Between 1945 and 1952 it was the capital of the German State of (South) Baden before it was merged with Württemberg-Baden and Württemberg-Hohenzollern to form Baden-Württemberg.
Just like on the recent card about the Freiburg Minster I also used the stamp about Freiburg's 900th anniversary (issued 02-07-2020) on this card. Four famous buildings from Freiburg are shown on the stamp: the Historical Merchants' Hall, the Martinstor, the Freiburg Minster and the University Library. All four you can also find on the card.
