Original 1936 German engagement announcement card from the Third Reich period, printed in elegant script and issued for Easter (Ostern) 1936.

This is a formal printed announcement rather than a handwritten card, featuring the names of the engaged couple along with their residences in Ulm an der Donau.

Text (translated line-by-line):

  • Margarete Wollinsky
  • Reinhold Schmidt
  • grüßen als Verlobte → “send greetings as engaged (couple)”
  • Ulm a. D. → “Ulm on the Danube”
  • Karlstr. 67 → “Karl Street 67”
  • Ostern 1936 → “Easter 1936”
  • Ulm a. D. → “Ulm on the Danube”
  • Bismarckring 35 → “Bismarck Ring 35”

Details & Collector Notes:

  • Nice example of a pre-war German engagement announcement
  • Dual addresses suggest residences of both families or individuals
  • Clean typography typical of mid-1930s German printed social stationery
  • Dated precisely to Easter 1936, adding historical context
