Postcard 1900 Gruss aus Füssen Bavaria Germany Panorama Used Bayern 5pf Stamp

Füssen, Bavaria, Germany1900Pre-linenFair-Good

From a sweeping hilltop vantage point, the compact Bavarian market town of Füssen nestles against dramatic Alpine peaks in this charming September 1900 Gruss aus (Greetings from) panorama — a steam train and freight wagons visible in the foreground rail yard, the medieval Hohes Schloss castle crowning the ridge at right. August sent this card to Fritz on 18 September 1900, adding a warm note of thanks for "the card and the bath," a delightfully intimate glimpse of turn-of-the-century German holiday culture. Published by the prestigious Dresden firm Römmler & Jonas, the card bears a 5-pfennig Bavarian coat-of-arms stamp cancelled at Hohenschwangau — just minutes from Neuschwanstein Castle — and a Karlsruhe arrival backstamp.
