Postcard RPPC Altmann-Hof St. Radegund Steiermark Austria Stöffler Photo

St. Radegund an der Steiermark, Styria, Austria1945RPPCExcellent

Tucked at the edge of a Styrian forest near the pilgrimage village of St. Radegund an der Steiermark, the Altmann-Hof presents its sturdy whitewashed façade with stone-quoined window surrounds and dark wooden shutters in this beautifully composed real-photo postcard — a bloom of spring blossom softening the right edge, the complex of farm buildings extending left behind a neat picket-and-rail fence. The image is the work of Eugen J. Stöffler, a Graz-based professional photographer whose studio on Frauengasse 4 produced fine-art quality documentary photography; his stamp on the back identifies this as a custom commission rather than a mass-market card. A handwritten inscription on the back — "Altmann-Hof bei St. Radegund / Steiermark" — is the only text, with no postal use whatsoever, suggesting this was produced as a private keepsake or estate record photograph. The deckle-edged border and warm sepia-silver tone place it firmly in the late 1930s–1950s Austrian RPPC tradition.
