Since I talked about Tilsit (Tilžė in Lithuanian) in my last post, I have decided to post today something relevant to that. This is a postcard of the Queen Louise Bridge sent in 1933 from Panemunė to Chemnitz, Germany. Panemunė was called Übermemel when it was still part of Memelgebiet. The bridge connects Tilsit (now Советск/Sovetsk, Russia) and Panemunė and served as the border between Lithuania and Germany (and of course now the border between Lithuania and Russia). You can see the panorama of village of Panemunė in the picture on the background of the bridge.
