Between 31 May and 3 June 2018 took place at Konz and Trier a 4th International Postcrossing Meetup, occasion with which was published this postcard. The two city are only 8 km from each other, on the Moselle river. The meeting point, was at the front of Porta Nigra (UNESCO WHS), and the program was varied and interesting. Excursions took place, inside and outside Trier (for exemple to Orscholz, to the canopy pathway), BBQ, a raffle and others. Furthermore, it was offered a special 70-cent-stamp of German Post to the 200th birthday of Karl Marx (on the postcard).
About the stamps
The first stamp, depicting Bluebells, is part of the series Blumen, about which I wrote here.
The second stamp, designed by Thomas Mayfried, was issued on May 3, 2018 to mark The 200th Anniversary of the Birth of Karl Marx.
Sender: Anne Hippe and the postcrossers who participated to the Postcrossing Meetup which held in Konz & Trier between 31 May and 3 June, 2018.
