cover from Germany

On 28th January I got not only a postcard but also a cover from Germany.

The stamp celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Smart Card (issued 05-09-2019). It was cancelled with a Covid-19 postmark. I have not gotten one of these for a while, but as you can see seven months later they are still in use. Unfortunately the number of the mail sorting centre is unreadable.

In the cover were four postcard, of which I used one for a special postmark.

The first card of the others shows the Archaeological Open-Air Museum in Oerlinghausen. This museum in North Rhine-Westphalia was opened in 1936 and shows reconstructed houses from the Stone Age to the Early Middle Ages. 

The second card shows various views of the small municipality Lanz in Brandenburg. Although Lanz has just a bit more than 700 inhabitants, it is known as birthplace of Turnvater Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, a German gymnastics educator and nationalist whose writing is credited with the founding of the German gymnastics movement. On the card you can see among others a portrait of Jahn, the Jahn Museum (upper row middle) and his Birth House (upper row right).

The last card shows some impressions of Borkum, the largest East Frisian Island.

Thank You very much Marcel!
