Germany - Berlin Pankow - Philatelie-Shop

On 16 May 2017 I received an envelope with the datestamp of the Philatelie-shop in Berlin Pankow. Inside that envelope was the usual blank card but with a handwritten message that this shop also uses a pictorial postmark. They put a print of it on the back of the card.

The next day I sent a new envelope for that pictorial postmark. I enclosed a nice Dutch postcard to thank them for their service. On the envelope I used the new definitive 90 cent stamp.

The postmark shows the Rathaus (Town hall) in the Breite Strasse. It was built in 1901-1903 and designed by Wilhelm Johow. In the background the famous Fernsehturm (Television Tower) can be seen.

The Philatelie-Shop in Berlin Pankow can be found in the shopping mall Rathaus-Center in the centre of this north Berlin quarter. The address for postmark requests is: Breite Straße 20, 13187 Berlin Pankow, Germany. Opening hours: Mo-Fr 9.30-18.30 h., Sat 9.30-14.00 h.
