On 30th October I got two postcards: one from Germany and one from France.
The card from Germany shows the Hagen Monument in Worms. Hagen is a character in the legend of the Nibelungs where he is the murderer of Siegfried and who later drowns the treasure of the Nibelungs in the Rhine. This statue of him was erected in 1905 and is an early example of the revived interest in the Nibelungs at the beginning of the 20th century.
The stamp shows Siegfried and the Dragon and comes from the series Sagenhaftes Deutschland (issued 07-10-2021). The postmark I got here shows a dragon holding Worms' coat of arms.
Thank You very much Marcel for sending me the card in an envelope!
