cover from Germany

On 3rd March I got three covers including one from Germany.

This is one of the many covers I send to myself to get special postmarks. Both the stamp and the postmark honour Friedrich Ebert, the first freely elected president of the German Weimar Republic, for his 150th birthday. The stamp was issued on 4th February and the postmark is from Heidelberg, where Ebert was born. Apart from the official First Day Special Postmarks there had been very few special postmarks so far this year here in Germany, most likely because many events are currently cancelled due to Covid-19. This makes this postmark even more special. Also this is the first one in blue.
