Beautiful antique German New Year greeting postcard featuring a colorful winter scene with a snow-covered house, evergreen branches and a dramatic sunset landscape.
The German greeting on the front reads:
“Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Neuen Jahre.”
which translates approximately to:
“Heartfelt best wishes for the New Year.”
The card has an attractive embossed design, particularly visible on the reverse, giving dimension to the circular winter scene and evergreen decoration.
The reverse is handwritten in German and retains its original 3 Pfennig Deutsches Reich Germania postage stamp and postal cancellation. This appears to be an early-20th-century card, likely from the 1910s era.
An appealing piece for collectors of German postcards, New Year greetings, winter scenes, embossed postcards, postal history and European ephemera.
Message Summary
The reverse contains a handwritten German New Year message and address. The handwriting is difficult to decipher completely, so I would not claim a full translation in the listing. It is clearly a personal greeting associated with the New Year.
