Offered here is an authentic German Kennkarte (identity document) issued in Cologne after the war, with validity until June 1947. It belonged to an Diplomat, born in 1891 in Elten (Rhineland). His profession is listed as Dipl.-Ing. (Diploma Engineer), a highly respected title in Germany.
The document is complete with his photograph, personal details, official stamps, and even the revenue stamp on the inside. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the immediate post-war period, when German citizens were required to carry these Kennkarten for identification and registration purposes.
A very interesting piece of history, especially due to the clear professional title and the early birth year of 1891, making this one of the rarer examples connected to an academic professional of that era.
