Title
1971 Germany Berlin Tiergarten Kongresshalle Aerial Park River View Handwritten Postcard
Description – Front
Colour aerial view of Berlin’s Tiergarten park showing dense greenery, winding waterways, and bridges cutting through the landscape. The Kongresshalle (Congress Hall) is clearly visible with its distinctive curved modernist roof rising above the trees. The surrounding parkland includes footpaths, lawns, and water features, while the Berlin city skyline stretches across the horizon in the background. The image captures West Berlin’s blend of post-war modern architecture and expansive green space during the Cold War era.
Description – Back
Handwritten German message in blue ink covering most of the card. Postmarked and dated 1971. Printed postcard text appears at the bottom left.
Handwritten text (German, as written):
3) Eigentlich, glaub’ ich,
sind Schläge nicht allein
ganz unberechtigt, doch vielleicht
auch für die eigene Offen-
heit.
Für korrekte noch schöne Worte
und bitte grüßt auch von liebe Mutti.
Linde ist inzwischen familiär und
wahrscheinlich niemand hat Grund, sich
zu beklagen.
Wir werden hoffen und so mäßig gute
Grüße zum Freitag sagen; damit wir
nicht so sehr in Anspruch bringen.
Mit Sommergruß
Mir

Note: Coins & Banknotes Grading
- Please closely inspect the photos to understand the condition of the coins or banknotes before proceeding with your purchase, as grading can be subjective and varies from person to person.
- Please do not place too much hope on grading companies to grade the notes accurately, as they can be notoriously inconsistent.
- Different graders have different opinions, eye factors, and knowledge that influence the final grading.
- Even grading companies do not guarantee that you will get the outcome of your desired grading.
- If you have any questions or require additional information, I am more than happy to assist. Please feel free to contact me anytime.
Shipping Information
- Complimentary Combined Shipping: We offer free combined shipping for all banknotes. To take advantage of this offer, please add the items to your cart together and only proceed to checkout once you are ready to pay. eBay will consolidate the shipping at the checkout page. Please do not pay for items individually, as the shipping costs will not be combined that way.
- Customs Fees: Buyers are responsible for any applicable customs fees.
- International Shipping: Shipping duration can vary, typically ranging from 14 to 60 business days for standard delivery. Please be aware that these shipping times are estimates and depend on the operational efficiencies of the shipping companies, which we cannot control.
- Postage Costs: Please note that international shipping via Australia Post is not cheap. We strive to keep the shipping costs as low as possible, sometimes even absorbing a portion of the costs. However, eBay charges fees on both the value of items sold and the shipping costs quoted. Additionally, eBay mandates the use of end-to-end tracking for safety and reliability.
- Untracked Shipping Requests: If a buyer insists on requesting an untracked, cheaper shipping option, we reserve the right to grant or refuse the request due to eBay’s strict shipping policies. If untracked shipping is granted, please be aware that we have no way of tracking the mail, and the buyer is strictly responsible for any losses in transit.
- Tracking and Logistics: Please check Australia Post for tracking status. Since we do not own Australia Post, we have absolutely no control over their handling times and methods. Australia is a huge continent, and logistics are challenging, coupled with one of the highest minimum wages in the world, making costs and operations tough. Please check with your postal service or local post offices if any unattended mail notes are left, as we absolutely can’t control that remotely.
VAT and GST
- We are not in control of charging any VAT or GST, as these are automatically applied by eBay.
Customer Conduct
- Please be respectful when communicating with us. We do not tolerate abusive behaviour from buyers.
- If you do not agree with the postage cost, eBay’s strict shipping policies, or any other terms, please refrain from making a purchase.
