Krems an der Donau Austria Panorama Postcard 1915

Krems an der Donau, Lower Austria, Austria1915Pre-linenVery Good
Photographic panoramic view of Krems an der Donau (Krems on the Danube), Austria, in the Wachau Valley region of Lower Austria. The elevated view looks across the medieval town, dominated by the tall Gothic tower of the Pfarrkirche St. Veit (Parish Church of St. Vitus) at left-center with attached monastery buildings, and a second Baroque church tower at right-center (likely the Dominikanerkirche). A dense medieval townscape of tiled rooftops fills the frame, with the Danube River visible as a bright band in the far background right and rolling Wachau hills and vineyards beyond. Published by Johann Saska, Krems a.d.D. (No. 2382). Postmarked Krems a.d.D., December 1, 1915 (WWI). Austrian 10 Heller stamp (Franz Joseph era). Addressed to Fräulein Stefanie Hoffinger, Vienna. Dense German cursive message.
