Wiesbaden, Germany: This vintage black-and-white postcard depicts a bustling scene in Wiesbaden, Germany, featuring the city's Hauptbahnhof (main train station) prominently in the foreground, accompanied by a markedly contrasting modern high-rise building to the left. The surrounding area is lively with numerous vehicles and pedestrians, under a sky slightly overcast, encapsulating a mid-20th-century urban landscape. Imposing yet elegant architecture dominates the view, with the clock tower of the station serving as a distinct focal point.
