Germany: Bahnhof Zoo

On 11th February I got a postcard from Germany.

It shows the Berlin Zoologischer Garten Railway Station or Bahnhof Zoo for short. The Bahnhof Zoo is located right next to the Berlin Zoo and during the German Division it was the most important railway station in the western part of Berlin. Opened in 1882 it is nowadays used by roughly 100000 passengers per day. It is ingloriously known throughout Germany due to the book and movie We Children from Bahnhof Zoo dramatising the period in the late 1970s when the rear of the station was a meeting point for rent-boys, teen runaways and drug addicts, but the station was also featured in Erich Kästner's 1929 children's novel Emil and the Detectives and a song of the Irish rock band U2. 

The stamp is about Winegrowing in Germany (issued 07-09-2017).

Thank You very much Marcel!
