Greetings from Ahlbeck on the Baltic Sea

An original postally used paper object from the collection, catalogued as picture postcard. Front: Black-and-white multi-view card “GRUSS AUS AHLBECK” showing Kurkonzert, Strandpromenade, Strandburg, FDGB home, pier and other local subjects. Reverse: GDR production with print code V11 50 A1/B 267/82; used with a 20-pfennig “Kunstguss” stamp plus a 5-pfennig airmail stamp. The catalogue dating is “c. 1982–1984”, and the country/postal area is recorded as “German Democratic Republic”. Condition is typical of a genuinely travelled postcard: normal handling traces, light rounding or wear at the edges, minor surface marks and handwritten/postal matter are present, while the object remains complete and its principal printed design, stamp and cancellation survive. Both sides were scanned directly. The catalogue images retain every visible edge without retouching or artificial restoration. The description deliberately separates firmly legible evidence from dates or cancellations that are only partly readable.
