Hello Rod,
Not completely sure about the 500 dm.
The cover is filatelistic. That also means anything goes(unfortunately)
But my best guess is, that if you use value declared, the 500dm was the maximum amount covered.
If you google wertbrief. You shoud be able to find covers with red or sometimes dark orange labels. |

My guess is they choose the value to match the postage applied... That way they could potentially say "it's not philatelic, it has the correct postage". :) |

Rod,
The first numbers are the day and month w/o a year -- 4 August. The last two are the time, 9-10. These early cancels (1860s) often had no years. |

Here is an old Bavarian type TPO cancellation on an early Weimar Republic era postcard fragment. Cancel reads BISCHOFSGRUEN - NEUENMARKT 8 DEZ 22 ZUG 6. This is a very short route in the Bayreuth area.  |

I don't think that's Auschwitz. Not enough characters in "Auschwitz" for "(Oberschles)" to be shifted that far around to the right. Also, it's likely NITZ, not WITZ -- with most fonts in use at that time, the right line of the W would be at a slight diagonal, not vertical. I don't see any good matches for either in the StampsX database, though.
