On 26th October I got two postcards: one from Germany and one from the USA.
The card from Germany shows a model of Siegfried killing the Dragon from the Legend of the Nibelungs. The Legend of the Nibelungs is a heroic tale from the Germanic and Scandinavian area. It was told for centuries in different versions before being written down by different authors in the 13th century. The card is from the Nibelungen[h]ort in Xanten, a museum about the legend.
I used a stamp showing the same scene as the card from the series Sagenhaftes Deutschland (issued 07-10-2021) and a postmark of Siegfried forging his sword.
Thank You very much Marcel for sending me the card in an envelope!
