The German Wine Route or Wine Road (Deutsche Weinstraße) is the oldest of Germany's tourist wine routes. Located in the Palatinate region of the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate, the route was established in 1935.The German Wine Gate (Deutsches Weintor) in Schweigen-Rechtenbach on the French border adjacent to Wissembourg (Weißenburg) in France marks the start of the route. Built in 1936, the gate is an imposing ceremonial gatehouse made of sandstone. The route runs northward, beside the path of Bundesstraßen B 38 and B 271 for 85 km, passing through towns like Bad Bergzabern, Edenkoben, Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Deidesheim, Bad Dürkheim and Grünstadt. The Wine Route ends at the House of the German Wine Route in Bockenheim an der Weinstraße.
The entire route is marked by a yellow sign with a stylized bunch of ten grapes and the name of the route (see the postcard for this sign).
This postcard came from Karsten (5 November 2015) Postcrossing.
