TOWNS and CITIES A to C
I don't know when this series of postcards was published, or how many cards were in the complete series, but I have placed them here as the earliest cancellation date I have seen is 1911. It is quite likely that these cards were issued in multiple batches over several years.
The cards seem to have been printed by a number of different publishers and are all unnumbered, so I have categorised them below by city as follows:
A to C
D to F
G to I
J to L
M to O
P to R
S to U
V to X
Y to Z
AMBERG
VERLAG HANS GIEHRL BUCHHANDLUNG, AMBERG
1. AMBERG, STADTMAUER
The following postcard depicts the Amberg City fortification.
No.2 - AMBERG / NABBURGER TOR
The Nabburger Gate is the oldest and, due to Renaissance renovations, also the most modern city gate in terms of fortification in the Upper Palatinate city of Amberg. The orignal Nabburger gate was built around the 13th century and the second in the 14th century. The gate was again modified in 1587 when it aquired its current appearance. The postally used example below was cancelled in AMBERG on 27th Oct 1924 and features a Michel 356 self-adhesive stamp issued in 1924.
