Imperial German Postcard – Berlin Royal Procession at the Königliches Schloss

This striking early 20th-century Imperial German postcard captures a ceremonial procession passing in front of the Königliches Schloss (Royal Palace) in Berlin. The focal point is an elaborate horse-drawn royal carriage accompanied by military escorts on horseback, all in full parade regalia. A line of attendants and guards flank the ornate coach, while flags wave from the palace windows, signaling the importance of the occasion.

The backdrop is the grandeur of the Berlin City Palace, an iconic symbol of Prussian monarchy and home to the Hohenzollern dynasty. Architectural details of the Baroque façade are clearly visible, offering collectors a crisp visual reference to the structure before its mid-20th century demolition.

Printed in Berlin, the card is labeled “Am Kgl. Schloss” (At the Royal Palace), and the reverse bears multilingual “Postkarte – Carte postale” text indicating international usage, typical of early postcard formats used throughout Europe during the Kaiserreich period.

Condition: Excellent for age. Sharp photographic clarity with minimal edge wear. Unused and unposted, with clean writing lines on the back.

Display Suggestion: A compelling companion piece to Imperial German medals or parade regalia, especially items linked to the Hohenzollern court or Prussian guards regiments. Would pair well with photographic albums, Kaiser Wilhelm memorabilia, or Berlin-themed collections.
