Yesterday I received the first card! It was from Aschersleben, Germany. It is the oldest town of Saxony-Anhalt, first mentioned in 753. The Latin name of the town's castle, Ascharia, provided the name of the House of Ascania, a dynasty of German rulers. During the WWII there was a subcamp of Buchenwald concentration camp. The fuselages for Junkers were produced here, and by the end of war they produced Heinkel. In 1946 most installations were transferred to Kiev (!).
The old buildings are very nice. It should be great to walk along such old streets, taking photos.
