Burg Rheinstein on the Rhine — Castle & River Gorge — Vintage Krüger Postcard c.1960s

Ivy-draped and defiant on its rocky cliff above the Rhine, Burg Rheinstein commands one of the most romantic stretches of river in Europe — freight barges and passenger steamers threading the gorge below while terraced vineyards climb the opposing hills toward a summer sky. The first of the great Rhine castles to be restored in the Romantic era, Rheinstein was rebuilt in the early 19th century and became a symbol of Germany's medieval revival. Published by Krüger Verlag and made in Western Germany, this vivid chrome card captures the Rhine Gorge — now a UNESCO World Heritage Site — in its mid-century postcard prime.
