HATEX HATEX MENNIGEN & CO. Halberstadt. Am Martiniplan
English translation
HATEX. HATEX, Mennigen & Co. Halberstadt, at Martiniplan.
Working English rendering prepared for the Reichenbach Family Archive from the visible postcard text.
- Archive reference
- RB-PHO-0334
- Date
- Listed as 1943; date not independently verified
- Digital image
- 873 × 576 pixels
- Evidence status
- Marketplace-sourced historical postcard lead; visually verified front, date and reverse not independently verified
- Uncertainty
- The seller’s photograph is watermarked and the reverse or postmark was not shown. The companion listing says the card was posted, but that cannot be checked without the reverse. The listing title misspells the company as ‘Meiningen’; the visible façade and the family handbills read ‘Mennigen & Co.’ The stated 1943 date remains a marketplace attribution until the reverse or another catalogued copy is examined.
- Source and provenance
- Public marketplace listing, eBay item 236708640984, viewed 26 August 2026. A companion Oldthing listing describes the card as posted (‘gelaufen’) and dated 1943; only the illustrated front was available for inspection.
- Credit
- Marketplace reference image via eBay seller listing 236708640984; postcard creator and publisher not yet identified
- Rights
- Source-linked research access copy of a watermarked marketplace image. Copyright and publication rights are not established; no reuse license is asserted.
- Image treatment
- Seller’s complete watermarked listing image preserved at its available 873 × 576 pixel resolution and converted from WebP to JPEG. No crop, watermark removal, reconstruction or generative alteration.
