Panevėžys 1917



This is a German military field post postcard sent in 1917 from the field post station (Feldpoststation) Nr. 216 located in Ponnewiesch (now Panevėžys, Lithuania) to Freiburg - Zähringen (Zähringen is one of the district of the city Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany). It looks like Panevėžys didn't have an official name at the time, the spelling differs in a various form such as Ponnewiesch or Poniewesz, the author even writes "Ponnewiez" on the postcard.
