Old German Postcards (Alte Deutsche Postkarten) - #2

Postcard #2: "Blick auf den Walchensee"
Die Welt in Farben
Nr. 1612: Farbenaufnahme von Jos. Jul. Schätz
Kunstverlag Georg Michel, Nürnberg-O

On a few of these, my Grandfather write "Emmersee lake" or "south of Emmersee lake" when the true spelling is Ammersee. (Perhaps the military called it something different? I researched on Wikipedia but couldn't find a history of name changes anywhere."


The text says:

A lake south of [A]mmersee lake

I love this picture - it faces southwest, with the Alps in the background (Garmisch-Partenkirchen would be in the valley before the alps). The small town to the right of the outshoot is Walchensee.

Check out this recent photo from a very similar viewpoint.

Tschüß!
