Germany - Nürnberg - Museum for Communication

On this blog there are already two entries about Museums for Communication, both in Germany. The first was the Museum in Berlin, the second the Museum in Frankfurt am Main. There is a third branch in the city of Nürnberg at the Lessingstraße 6.

All postmarks can be obtained through the Sonderstempelstelle or by posting mail in the letterbox in the museum shop.

The postmark has the words Museum für Kommunikation, the place 90443 Nürnberg Mittelfr. and an image of an historical post horn in front of the skyline of the old city of Nürnberg. The postmark has been in use since 1 January 2005.

For the envelope I used the new definitive 90 cent stamp from the flower series, issued on 11 May 2017 that I bought at the Philatelie-Shop in Essen on the first day of issue. Although the Sonderstempelstelle must have received my envelope after 11 May, they still gave me a postmark with the date 11 May 2017, making it a first day cover.
