1937 Real Photo Postcard – Saarbrücken Rathaus, Germany – Hitler Stamp, Anti-Marxism Slogan, Handwritten Travel Note

Original 1937 real photo postcard featuring the Saarbrücken Rathaus (City Hall) in Saarland, Germany. This neo-Gothic municipal building, completed in 1900 and designed by renowned architect Georg von Hauberrisser, is shown in a detailed photographic print capturing its ornate façade, clock tower, and period automobiles parked in the cobbled square.

The postcard was mailed and bears a 6 Pfennig green Adolf Hitler definitive stamp, with a partial 1937 postmark. The reverse includes a prominently printed propaganda slogan used during the Nazi regime:
"Kampf dem Marxismus!" ("Fight against Marxism!"), illustrating the era’s politicized public messaging even on common stationery.

The handwritten message is a personal reflection from a father to his sons, written in German cursive script. Translated, it reads:

"Dear Buben!
22 years ago I was here — in the Kaiserreich. It was a beautiful area back then, what Saarland is today. Many hills, around St. Ingbert and other places, good wide streets and very lovely towns!
Farewell and all the best.
Your Vati (Dad)
Saarbrücken, the 5th [likely October] 1937"

This card offers strong cross-collectibility: architectural history, Nazi-era propaganda ephemera, philately, and personal correspondence during a pivotal pre-WWII year. A rare and historically layered artifact.
