This is a most interesting color postcard. It shows the victory parade held in Berlin following the 1870-1871 Franco-Prussian War. If you look closely, you will see Kaiser Wilhelm I, Otto von Bismarck, and Kronprinz Friedrich Wilhelm (later Kaiser Friedrich III). The postcard has a message written on the obverse. (Many early postcards only had space for the address on the reverse). On the reverse we see that the postcard was mailed in 1900.

This is a colorized postcard of Generalfeldmarschall Paul von Hindenburg (1847-1934). He is wearing a dunkel-blau (dark-blue) tunic, with epaulettes, a ribbon bar, breast star, and two neck orders. Von Hindenburg achieved fame early in WW I, defeating the Russians at Tannenberg on the Eastern Front. He later commanded the entire German Army.

Upon von Hindenburg’s death in 1934, Hitler assumed control of Germany and the Third Reich was born. This postcard was mailed from Austria during WW I.

Luise was the Queen of Prussia and wife of König Friedrich Wilhelm III. He was the King of Prussia during the Napoleonic Wars. Luise was a beautiful woman and remained a favorite of the people long after she was dead. She is seen here with her two sons. The older became King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. He was replaced by the younger lad , who became König and Kaiser Wilhelm I. it comes from a painting. It is on the grounds of Sanssouci in Potsdam. This is among my favorite German castles, not so much for what is inside but for its grounds.
