Germany: Pious Helene

On Friday I got a cover from Germany with two cards inside.

One of the cards shows the Pious Helene. Pious Helene is a story in pictures by Wilhelm Busch. It was published in 1872 and shows Busch's anticlerical attitude. The card is a maxicard. The stamp was issued on 15th April 1982 to celebrate Wilhelm Busch's 150th birthday. It was cancelled in Wiedensahl, Wilhelm Busch's birthplace, with a special postmark showing Max and Moritz.


The other card I will use later to get a special postmark.

Thank You very much Heike!
