1912 (24 Apr) NÜRNBERG to Mission-House in MeiChou and Changlok via Swatow. German postcard to Hong Kong, redirected to Meichou and then

1912 (24 Apr) NÜRNBERG to Mission-House in MeiChou and Changlok via Swatow. German postcard to Hong Kong, redirected to Meichou and then changlok via Swatow (汕頭), with multiple Chinese datestamps. Picture postcard franked with a 10 Pfennig red "Bayern" issue, tied by clear NÜRNBERG/24.4.12 circular datestamp, correctly paying the UPU international postcard rate. Originally addressed to Hong Kong, to a German missionary at "Mission-House", the card was redirected to Changlok (likely present-day Changlou/長洛), a rural station near Meizhou (梅州), Guangdong. The address was amended in red ink with the instruction "via Swatow", and the card received several Chinese transit and arrival postmarks, including: 汕頭 (Swatow) transit marking: 梅州 (Meichou) regional postmarks; 長樂(Changlok) local delivery mark. This postcard is an excellent example of early German missionary correspondence redirected through the Hong Kong-Swatow-Changlok inland route. It highlights the complexity of missionary mail forwarding in pre-republican China, with complete routing and delivery markings.1912.4.24 德國寄香港明信片,轉寄廣東梅州「德教堂」,經汕頭轉遞並蓋多枚中文戳記。貼有德國巴伐利亞紅色10便士郵票，銷紐倫堡 NÜRNBERG/1912年4月 24日清晰日戳,正確支付萬國郵聯(UPU)明信片國際郵資。原址為香港,寄往德國傳教士駐「德教堂(Mission-House)」，惟收件人已遷離,地址被紅筆劃去並改為廣東梅州長樂(Changlok)。信件另加紅筆註明「via Swatow(經汕頭)」，並蓋有多枚中文戳記,包括:汕頭(Swatow)日戰、廣東興寧元年五月廿八日(Hingling)、長樂元年五月廿九日(Chonglok)日戳。此為德國傳教郵件經香港轉送中國內陸之完整實寄實例,展示早期傳教士郵件改遞處理流程與條約港與內陸郵路之連繫,具研究價值。
