GERMANY. 1906 envelope from Lubeck to Cronenberg which has a three line blue cachet 'Beschadigt beim / Eisenbahnungluck / in Ottersberg'. On December 30 1906 the Hamburg to Cologne express train crashed into a goods train near Ottersberg. As a result of the collision the mail coach was set on fire. There are a number of cachets known from this incident, all with fairly similar wording. An uncommon item.
