Hello everyone,
As I’m new in Germany and relatively new in postcrossing, I have a question for postcrossers in Germany. If I want to send a standard size postcard in an envelope, is the price still 0.95 euros? I use the mail boxes around, so I wanted to ask the community here before putting the envelope in.
Thank you and my best wishes to y’all 
No, it’s €1.10 then.

Hello!
I’m travelling to Berlin and the near area next summer. I would love to know, where to find postcards. What are the best places to buy postcards? And how about tapes, stickers and pens? I just realized Faber-Castell is German. Of course I’m going to send some tourist cards, but I would love to hear about some unique cards too.
I would really much appreciate tips! Thank you all.
Best, Milla
Hello,

Hello @Ti-ti-uu_North
Welcome to the forum 
Berlin is a paradise for postcrosser - you’ll find shops selling cards on almost every corner.
In our google docs document, the cities are all sorted alphabetically and you can find your way around even if you don’t know German.
I especially recommend:
Naturkaufhaus
Schlossstraße 101
12163 Berlin
Kinderpostershop Berlin
Bizetstraße 113
13088 Berlin
Ararat
Bergmannstraße 99 a
10961 Berlin
But especially in small shops that you come across in passing, you can often find particularly unusual cards.
And nearly almost all museums also sell many different cards.

Thank you @Seracker for linking the online shops, but I think @Ti-ti-uu_North needs the “offline” postcard shops in Berlin. 
The list @bille provided is from the postcards shops topic (which is linked in my topic at the bottom of the very first entry):

Not sure if many people see this here - active forum members in Düsseldorf are @duesseljin, @DoroD and @Nordbaer. @frewen is also nearby. Maybe one of them can help you spread the word!

I am off to vacation for two weeks from Sunday, so sorry that I won’t be able to meet you.
Thank you. Hope to get in touch with a few of them and meet them in person.

Next time.
What’s the difference between Kienapfel and Tannenzapfen?
One is a pine cone (Kienapfel), the other a fir cone.

Hello,
Anyone planning to go to C/O Berlin in the near future? I saw it mentioned on the forums that they have a good postcards selection. Hoping that they have the currently exhibited Daido Moriyama’s “Stray Dog” photograph as a postcard and would love to do an exchange for it.
Thank you in advance!
Hi,
I am certainly going to C/O Berlin but no idea when I’ll find enough time for it. The exhibition continues to September 7th…
Generally there are a few (too few) postcards from the actual exhibition, Daido Moriyama’s stray dog might be there. I’ll let you know.
