German Cancel From 1890 That I Can't Understand

I echo Rod222's comments ... PostmasterGS has certainly made a silk purse from the sow's ear I gave him!

I had not at all appreciated the significance of the cancel reading "Kufst-Mchen" rather than the other way around. It must indeed have travelled North from Italy, through Austria to the border and thence up to Rosenheim to join the main train line. It is a great pity, as others have mentioned, that I cannot supply you with an address for it is completely missing, but everything points to it being in Germany somewhere because the letter was processed on that train.

PostmasterGS, is your information about the ship route and dates from a published work or from a website? Either way I am grateful for everyone's help and I hope in future to be able to pull off some Sherlock Holmes feats myself if I get to grips with enough of the reference material.

The link given by Rod222 shows a lovely picture of the ship, Kaiser Wilhelm II, renamed Hohenzollern from 1900 to 1908 when it was decommissioned.

My information on the sailing schedule is from this book:

It's Volume 1 of a 4-volume set on the German Ship Post of the late 19th and early 20th centuries published by the ArGe Schiffspost, which is the Ship Post study group of the big German philatelic society, the BDPh.

Here's the excerpt from the sailing table:

I'm not clear on whether the dates are based upon published schedules or actual historical records of arrivals/departures. It's probably in the text somewhere, but my German's not that good. Also, whether the dates are arrivals, departures, or both.

And here are a couple more photos of the Kaiser Wilhelm II.

PS There is a Youtube video on this vessel, but just one static image, with German Audio.

Further to PostmasterGS' Post.......

I found an old address book of Ansbach ... with a "Walli Schramm" in it who used to be a hairdresser.



But what is interesting about the name on the cover. It seem's to be printed, no typewriting. Isn't that pretty unusual?
Could Wally S be the sender?

Maybe you could show us a picture of the whole fragment.
