It is hard to imagine life without it and can be found everywhere. Even if it is perhaps sent less than before in the age of digital communication, it remains a particularly long-lasting favorite for beautiful memories and personal messages. What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of postcards? Holiday greetings from family, funny sayings from the bookstore or a souvenir from your last city trip? But where did the idea of the postcard actually come from and did it always look like it does today?

To get you in the mood for spring as much as we are, we have put together a few spring pictures for you here.

The magic of Christmas has vanished, as has the (barely existent) New Year's Eve glamour. Now there are still a handful of cold, grey days ahead of us. Until life finally becomes more colourful again, we'll just think warm thoughts. And there is light at the end of the tunnel: Valentine's Day on February 14th marks the start of the signs of spring, so to speak!
We are approaching the end of the winter trade fair marathon and have just finished Paperworld, while Ambiente is still ahead of us. Both in Frankfurt, the Manhattan of Germany, also affectionately known as Mainhattan. This city is a cultural hotspot, a hub for modern architecture and also the financial centre of Europe. The city itself is not a city of a million, but it is still one of the global players in urbanism. Would you like to pay the city a visit? Then let our #awalkthrough inspire you to see more than just the skyline.
Oh Paris - a city more beautiful than any love story. The French capital is one of the most important cities in Europe and one of the world's leading centers for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. The cityscape is characterized by 19th century architecture, wide boulevards, the Seine and of course sights such as the Eiffel Tower. From the historical monuments to the exquisite cuisine, the city is simply an incomparable travel destination. With so many attractions, it's easy to lose track of time and spend an eternity in Paris.
The start of school is the beginning of a new, exciting phase of life for many children, and it should be celebrated appropriately!

You can let off steam when decorating and sticking stickers on it, and you can also let the little ones lend a hand!
