About this postcard
An elevated view across Aschaffenburg, with dense rooftops and church spires filling the middle distance and open fields and scattered trees in the foreground. The town sits on the Main in Bavaria's Lower Franconia, at the western edge of the Spessart hills, and is known for Schloss Johannisburg, the Renaissance palace begun around 1600. On the back, a handwritten note sends warm greetings from Rollmann, Lisl and Anner to a household in Heidelberg-Rohrbach, with good wishes passed along to a Mr. and Mrs. Kittel.
