CODE 35-53-1-B1

BACKGROUND: Card 35-53-1-B1 was issued in Apr 1934 and features an image of The Romer in Frankfurt (Main). The Römer has been the town hall of Frankfurt am Main since the 15th century and, with its characteristic stepped gable façade, is one of its landmarks. The middle of the originally three independent buildings on the Römerberg is the actual Haus zum Römer and for centuries the term "Römer" has been understood to refer to the entire town hall complex. The card is inscribed as follows:



"Der Römer zu Frankfurt am Main | Schauplatz der reichswichtigen Römerberg-Festspiele"

"The Römer in Frankfurt am Main | Location of the imperially important Römerberg Festival"
