Under crisp early autumn skies in 1988, the city of Koblenz bustled with celebration, colour, and the soft clinking of wine glasses. This vibrant postcard showcases iconic landmarks including Festung Ehrenbreitstein, the Alte Burg, Deutsches Eck, and the Herz-Jesu-Kirche — all framed in a lively collage typical of late Cold War-era German tourism.

Postmarked 26 September 1988 with a 60 pfennig Deutsche Bundespost stamp, this card was sent during the region’s famed wine festival season. The sender warmly recounts their experience despite the weather, highlighting the food and drink, offering a candid human glimpse into the cultural rhythms of the time. Publisher mark: Cramers Kunstanstalt Dortmund, series number Kob 634.

A poignant travel relic, this postcard invites collectors and researchers to relive a moment of leisure and celebration along Germany’s storied waterways. Whether displayed, studied, or archived, it stands as a testament to friendship, travel, and mid-century tourism culture.
