Annette sent me this nice card from Nuremberg, the Bavarian city famous for its association with Albrecht Dürer, and also for its historic role in the years leading to; during and in the aftermath of the 2nd World War. 

The old town, which must be lovely, judging from the pictures in the card, was almost totally destroyed during the war, but thanks to the effort and will of the German people we are now lucky to be able to again stroll past its reconstructed and impeccably maintained sights.

Two stamps were used to mail the postcard to Portugal

The 0,85€ stamp was issued on 02JAN2015 for the annual series Wild Germany, running from 2013 to 2018 and it depicts a boden landscape on the Baltic sea region. This stamp was issued in both normal and self-adhesive versions, the one on the postcard being the lattter, I believe

The 0,10€ stamp with a photo of a Winter Aconite (Eranthis hyemalis)  is part of definitive "flowers" series, started in 2005. It was issued on 08JUN2017.

The machine applied cancelation tells us that the card was mailed from Briefzentrum 90, corresponding to the city of Nürnberg.

The vignette on the postmark  "Gemeinsam Gegen Corona sich selbst und andere Scützen..." (Together against Corona, protect yourself and the others...) began to be machine applied on correspondence in Germany on the 1st June 2021.
