20 Pfennig Torhalle Lorsch-Hessen 1967
Added by Alain Martineau
General Description : Another one printed in RED in 1965
Lorsch is a town in the Bergstraße district in Hesse, Germany, 60 km south of Frankfurt.
The 9th-century 'Torhalle' (gatehouse) is a unique survival of the Carolingian era. It curiously combines some elements of the Roman triumphal arch (arch-shaped passageways, half-columns) with the vernacular Teutonic heritage (baseless triangles of the blind arcade, polychromatic masonry).
Face value 20 Pfennig
