Germany: Urgeschichtliches Museum Blaubeuren

On 2nd October I got four postcards: two from Germany and two from Austria. 

One of the cards from Germany shows the Venus of Hohle Fels from the collection of the Urgeschichtliches Museum Blaubeuren. The Urgeschichtliches Museum Blaubeuren was opened in 1965 and is since 2012 a branch of the Archaeological State Museum of Baden-Württemberg. It shows important prehistoric artifacts from the Swabian Jura. The Venus of Hohle Fels for example is the oldest known undisputed example of a depiction of a human being in prehistoric art.


The card was sent on World Postcard Day and got the Covid-19 postmark from the mail sorting centre 41 in Mönchengladbach. 


 Thank You very much Marcel!
