Concordance
Thematic: The thematic concordance is excellent: the stamp depicts the Deutschlandhalle; the postcard shows a photographic view of the same architectural landmark; and the Berlin cancellation directly relates to the building’s location. All three elements converge on a single, well‑defined architectural subject, fulfilling the essential principles of maximaphily.
Geographic: All components — stamp, Berlin postmark, and postcard illustration — are firmly anchored in the same city. The cancellation from Berlin provides precise geographic authenticity and aligns perfectly with the location of the Deutschlandhalle, ensuring full geographic concordance.
Temporal: The postmark date (26 February 1937) falls well within the postal validity period of the Winter Relief issue released on 26 October 1936. This close temporal proximity ensures proper chronological concordance for a maximum card created with a stamp used during its contemporary period of circulation.
