A postcard snapshot of former West Berlin in 1964 just arrived at its rightful destination, 53 years after it was sent. Schneckenpost: Ansichtskarte nach 53 Jahren am Ziel angekommen #Luckenwalde https://t.co/ARBkHlW3pG — Märkische Allgemeine (@maz_online) April 15, 2017The exact authors of the card were not clear. The postcard appeared to have a modern label indicating that the address had been written incorrectly, in particular the postcode for Luckenwalde. There the current and valid address were researched, a new address label was added, and the card was sent to the written address. “The fact is that every delivery, regardless of its age or its outdated address will be reworked and sent - even after 53 years.”
