    Historic blue mailboxes, often adorned with elaborate Art Nouveau decorations, are rare but prized photographic subjects in Germany. Particularly well-known are examples in the old town of Lauenburg and in Würzburg, which are still regularly emptied and preserve a piece of postal history. While the German Federal Post Office introduced yellow mailboxes in the 1980s, these blue ones are reminiscent of the Prussian era or their special airmail functions, with the "Brilliant Blue" shade (RAL 5007) being used for airmail.

    This charming, historic mailbox at the Zwiesel town hall immediately reminds me of the "twins" in Lauenburg's old town.

    The impressive town hall in Zwiesel has a turbulent history.

    A town hall in use since at least 1535 was burned down by the Swedes in 1633, along with the market square. It was rebuilt in 1635 but burned down again in 1707, resulting in the loss of many important records. The subsequent town hall was also destroyed in the market fire of 1832. In 1838, construction began on the current town hall on the site of the previous building. It wasn't until 1844 that the building, which until then had only a temporary roof, was properly re-roofed.
