This is a postal stationery issued for Memelgebiet (Memel region) sent in 1920 from Memel (now Klaipėda, Lithuania) to Lobeda bei Jena, Thüringen, Germany. This is one of the two Germania overprinted postal stationery issued on September 1920. This 30 P stationery was for inland destination and the other was 40 P for foreign destination. These were valid only for 2 months which makes the used example pretty scarce. The rectangular violet cancel on the left of the postmark is the Konigsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia) censorship stamp.
