Sprechen Sie Deutsch

Today's Postcard Friendship Friday is brought to you courtesy of Ludwigsburg, Germany home of the largest Baroque castle in the country. Ludwigsburg can be found a short 12 kilometers north of Stuttgart.

Grube aus Ludwigsburg/Greet from Ludwigsburg

I'd love to know what this card says if anyone speaks German and can translate for me.


I tried one of those online translators and this is what I got.

This card is from a lot of postcards I purchased from Ebay. The message is dated May 26, 1988 and is addressed to:

Frau
Eva Nechenia
Shalom Yehuda 14
Jerusalem, Israel

Please let me know if you can figure it out. Until then, Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

  4. Stevie, go to Reader Wil's blog and ask her to come over and translate it! She's a sweetheart, I'm sure she'd love too!
    She's on my blog roll.

  7. Those beautiful pictures remind me of castles I have just seen on my travels.;))) I agree with the translation Marie has offered, that would be my suggestion too. But nothing beats the one that the net gave you, I am still laughing.;))
    Hehe.;))

  8. Wish I could help. My German is pretty poor so I can make out some words but I'd make as much sense as that translation!

    This is my first PFF and my first visit here and I am thoroughly enjoying catching up on your previous posts.
    I hope you have taken plenty Tylenol and feeling not so sore.

    Thank you so much for sharing.
    I now know that as any good Post Mistress should Marie can also translate our cards into great happiness :)

  15. A map on the mid toe sounds infinitely more interesting than Marie's translation - sorry Marie!! :)

  16. Nice detail that it is a German girl writing to her Jewish friend in Israel. Marie did a fine translation. The word on the card is GrĂ¼sse: that strange 'b' is the typical German 'Ringel-s'.

    Have a beautiful weekend.

  19. Thanks Marie and Protege for the help with translating. Your version makes much more sense than mine.

    There is still a lot going on here, but I will get around to all of your PFF posts as soon as I can. Thanks for visiting.

  21. very interesting postcard with its 4 vignettes on one card. i use online translation services occasionally at work and find that i can't trust it 100%. i always double check everything with the french or spanish dictionary.

    have a wonderful weekend!!!
