Black and white image of the Monbijouplatz in Berlin, Germany. This is a street view image that includes various, late 19th century buildings, including Monbijou Palace on the right side and the New Synagogue (Synagogue Oranienburferstrass) on the left side.
Monbijous Palace was designed in the Rococo (late Baroque) architectural style. It was located in Berlin on the north bank of the Spree River. It was damaged by Allied bombs during World War II. Monbijou Palace was demolished in 1959 and was never restored. Monbijou Park now stands in its place.
The New Synagogue was designed in the Moorish architectural style by Eduard Knoblauch. It was inaugurated in 1866. Although desecrated during Kristallnacht, the synagogue was one of the few Jewish establishments to survive the event. During the Second World War, the building was severley damaged by Allied bombings. It remained in ruins until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Reconstruction was carried out from 1989 to 1993. Today, the synagogue holds worship services and houses offices and a museum.
The postcard contains personal correspondence on the reverse side. Text is in the Flemish language. The postcard was sent from Stettin, Germany to Antwerp (Anvers), Belgium. Personal correspondence is dated April 3, 1909. The postcard is postmarked April 5, 1909.
