Germany: Nassau Castle

On 6th November I got four postcards: three from Germany and one from Canada.

One of the cards from Germany shows Nassau Castle. Nassau Castle was built around 1100 as the original seat of the House of Nassau, an aristocratic dynasty among whose descendants are the present-day monarchy of Luxembourg and the Netherlands. By the 20th century only ruins of the castle remained which were completely destroyed in World World II, but in the 1970s parts of the castle were reconstructed according to an etching by Matthäus Merian.

The recent Heinzelmännchen stamp from the series Sagenhaftes Deutschland (issued 07-10-2021) was used here and it got cancelled with a Covid-19 postmark from the mail sorting centre 56 in Koblenz. It is always nice to get stamps like this also on "real" (commercial) mail and not only on the philatelic cards I send to myself.

Thank You very much Marcel!
