| TPO Bahnpost Pogegen - Schmalleningken / Pagėgiai - Smalininkai |
This is a postcard sent in 1906 from Schmalleningken (now Smalininkai, Lithuania), East Prussia to Санкт-Петербург / Sankt-Peterburg, Russia. Schmalleningken was an important center on the eastern edge of Memelland having a pier facing Memel / Nemunas River and a railway connection. The postmark is a railway post (Bahnpost) of the line Pogegen (now Pagėgiai, Lithuania) - Schmalleningken. The picture of the postcard is also interesting as well, with the large steam boat "Herold" with lots of passengers getting ready to leave the pier in front of the hotel Deutsches Haus.
Hi
ReplyDeleteI am collector of German Bahnpost currently writting a book on the ostbahn routes including the occupied Baltic area. I wonder if you could sell me a cover from your collection to include it in my book.
Look forward to hearing from you
