Postcard sent from Gotha to Sonneberg, featuring a patriot 'colonial' poem written by Asta Wegerer (1854-1931). Ref: 20.08.1933
Remember the wonders of our colonies
Once our beautiful domain;
With deep woe we gave them away,
We loved them, we knew their glory!
The longing remains in our hearts
And no time will ever destroy true love;
The true German says: "Auf Wiedersehen'n"
To whom gratitude and honour and a faithful spirit remain
