Hi to all
Is this a 1st day cover, and if not what is the significance of the item.
Regards

The cancellation roughly translates to "Vienna Fair (or exhibition) Palace"

I can't read the bottom of the cinderella, the last line is Vienna 1933 and above it is "Ausstellung" which mean exhibition. Can you read the top 2 lines?

On the bottom left of the card it says

Reiseauskünfte = Travel Information
Fremdenverkehrstelle = Tourism place or stand

On the cinderella it says :
Wiener Internationale Postwertzeichen Ausstellung 1933
Vienna International Philatelic Exhibition of 1933

Bottom left is the name of the designer, Ludwig Hesshaimer and bottom right the printer, Brüder Rosenbaum

Also, it's definitely not a FDC. The 4g was issued on 15.8.34
and the 8+2 Niebelungen way back on 8.3.26 but still valid for
postage in 1935.
