On April 1st my address was given to quite a few postcrossers and as a result I've been getting a lot of cards these last days, some of them with consecutive ID numebers. That's the case of these two from Germany.

One of the prettiest scenes in Mainz is this small rectangular square, Kirschgarten, enclosed by tall half-timbered houses.
The square itself dates back to before 1329, while its houses are from the 16th to the 18th centuries. One, Zum Aschaffenberg is the oldest preserved half-timbered house in Mainz, built around 1500.
At the centre, bordered by a restaurant terrace, is the Kirchgartenbrunnen, a fountain that has only been here since 1932 and is made with red sandstone repurposed from broken ornamental structures on the Theodor Heuss Bridge. - in: https://www.thecrazytourist.com

Heinsberg is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, situated near the border with the Netherlands.
The city has just a few ancient structures. Most of the city was destroyed in 1944 during World War II. The main sights are St. Gangolf church, the castle ruins, old district court and the building assembly.
