Erlangen is a city in Bavaria. The card shows the Erlangen Castle, built in 1700-1704, is home to a large part of the Erlangen-Nuremberg University administration.
The university was founded in 1742 in Bayreuth by Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, and moved to Erlangen in 1743. The monument in front of the castle, which was built to mark the 100th anniversary of the university (1843), depicts Margrave Friedrich.

Helgoland is a small German archipelago in the North Sea, located 46 kilometres (29 mi) off the German coastline and consists of two islands: the main island Hauptinsel to the west and the Düne to the east.
Northwest of the island proper Heligoland's famous landmark is found: The Lange Anna ("Long Anna" or "Tall Anna") which is a free standing rock column (or stack), 47 metres (154 ft) high and weighing about 25,000 tons. - in: wikipedia
