On Friday I got four postcards from Germany.
One of them shows Freiburg Minster. Freiburg Minster was began around 1200 in the Romanesque style, but the construction continued in 1230 in Gothic style. Already the Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt praised the beauty of the tower and today it is still considered to be a masterpiece of the Gothic style. As by a miracle it survived World War II without destructions although surrounding areas were completely destroyed. Since 1827 it is the cathedral of the newly erected Archdiocese of Freiburg.
Also this card I bought on the Internet. The stamp celebrates the 900th anniversary of Freiburg (issued 02-07-2020) and the First Day Special Postmark from Bonn also shows the Freiburg Minster. I prepared another card with this stamp, but that one travelled longer.
