How it Works

Nothing is out of reach! The world is in your mailbox.
Pretzel Post is a personal letter subscription illustrated in old medieval style and sent with a postage stamp. Each letter is created and sent to you from Germany. Like we say in Rothenburg, „We’re not tourists, we live here!“
Letter subscriptions placed any time during the month will be mailed on the 1st of the following month and continue each month until cancelled.
In addition to the letters, each mailing includes a collectible postcard, a sticker and a cancelled collectible German stamp. The postcards and stickers are based on my own travels and are a mix of photos and my own artwork. These enrich the experience and provide collectible items to look forward to every month!
Each letter is meticulously crafted to transport the reader to various castles and medieval sights, enhancing their understanding of the historical context of these locations with a fun and entertaining story.
By subscribing, individuals are not merely receiving letters; they are embarking on an educational journey that broadens their understanding of European history.
The letter subscription service offered by Pretzel Post provides a unique opportunity to engage with historical narratives and locations across Germany and other nearby European countries. Each subscription delivers a series of letters that encapsulate personal accounts of life in Germany.
With an astounding count of over 20,000, Germany is home to more fortresses and medieval castles than any other country in Europe.
You can choose between several options: month-to-month, 3-month, 6-month subscription or a 12-month subscription. This flexibility enables you to select a duration that best fits your needs, whether for yourself or as a gift subscription. The subscription renews automatically until cancelled.
Pretzel Post is an innovative approach to historical education, offering a blend of entertainment and learning. It’s an ideal gift for those who appreciate the allure of the past and wish to explore it from the comfort of their own home.
