1,000th ANNIVERSARY OF BAUTZEN
(3rd/11th Jun 1933)

This postcard was published to commemorate the 1,000th Anniversary of the town of Bautzen. The anniversary was celebrated over 7 days from 3rd to 11th Jun 1933.

This example from my collection features the special cancel used to commemorate the event and is inscribed:

"BAUTZEN | JAHRTAUSENDFEIER" - 'BAUTZEN | MILLENNIUM CELEBRATION'.

According to the Bochmann catalogue this special cancel was only used from 3rd to 11th Jun 1933, which appears to be incorrect as this example was cancelled on the 12th of June, one day later than the date in the Bochmann Catalogue.
