Hi

You can find two towns named "Rotenburg" in Germany - one is named
"Rotenburg ob der Tauber" and one "Rotenburg Wümme". Obviosly your
postmark is "Rotenburg Wümme" postoffice 1.

I'm pretty sure that's "Rothenburg ob der Tauber" - I once spent a
semester as an exchange student in Nuremberg, and Rothenburg was a
popular tourist destination for us in the area, noted as being an
excellent example of a medieval city.
Now "Neustadt", that's something else to try to figure out. That's
kind of like "Springfield" in the USA, there must be 30 different towns
with those names.
I was once trying to find a town named Reichenbach in the area near
the old Canadian forces base in Lahr (Baden-Wurttemberg), and with my
excellent, highly detailed (and long gone) atlas of Germany, found 4
different towns with that name, all within about 30 Km of each other.

That points to Rotenburg Wümme 1, I belive. Or did'nt I get your point?

The point was in the spelling - one town named "Rothenburg", one
town named "Rotenburg". (Not both named "Rotenburg".)

Right, I mixed that up.
