About this postcard

The card shows the Marktplatz in Bremen, Germany, with the Renaissance-style Rathaus (town hall) dominating the right side and ornate neighboring buildings at left. The Bremen Town Hall, built in the early 15th century and remodeled in the Weser Renaissance style in the early 17th century, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the nearby Roland statue. The handwritten date on the front places this card in 1906.
