The postcard tour of the Rhine river concludes with another view of the Lorelei rock.

The description is again an excerpt from a poem, crudely translated as follows:
The Loreley waved from treacherous rock –
Power flooded down her veil
And contributes to the listening land into
The gold flowers enamel of their songs.
She has sung in my lonely hour
Of home and hope and love –
There are the words out of her mouth
Forever remain in our hearts.
From the epic “Defiance Cat” by Jörg Ritzel

The last stop for the week is the island castle called Pfalz, or Palatinate.

The description translates as follows:
The Palatinate, situated in the Rhine at Kaub, a highly original building, whose main pentagonal tower dates from the middle of the 11th Century. The little castle was built for the purpose of revenue collection.
—
Presumably, this location made it easy for tax collectors to intercept commercial boat traffic on the Rhine.

In contrast to the previous posting, this is an illustration of the Castle Mouse. Similarly to the previous post, the actual subject is dimly viewed on a hill in the background while the foreground town takes pride of place.

The description on the back translates as follows:
Castle Mouse was built by the bishop Bohemond of Trier to protect his possessions on the Rhine in 1357. The castle is still well preserved and inhabited occasionally.
It is number 130 in the series.

This picture is a little confusing. Even though the emphasis is on the riverfront and the church, the description talks about the structure on the hill in the upper background.

The description on the back translates as follows:
Castle Cat
Wall and towers, floating high above,
The main boldly lifting into the clouds,
Catle Cat looks proud to rich country,
She has to citizen use and profit
Adopted the royal residence here
On vine-wreathed Fensenwald.

This is a rather ostentatious monument to the man who ruled over Germany in the latter half of the 19th Century.  Though it is called the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument, there are several hundred such monuments of various types dedicated to him.

Too bad his son wasn’t a particularly good leader or military commander, since it meant the end of the monarchy in Germany along with the destruction of its empire. The text on the back of the card translates as:
The Kaiser Wilhelm Monument at the German Corner, located at the confluence of the Rhine and Mosel, is one of the buildings that was built in honor of Emperor Wilhelm 1 of Germany. Two Berlin artists are its builders: Professor Bruno Schmidtz and the sculptor Professor Hundrieser. The monument was inaugurated in 1897.

This image is of the riverside town of Boppard.

The description on the back translates roughly as follows:
Boppard. Town with 6500 inhabitants, is characterized by a particularly versatile environment and very scenic location on the river. In Boppard flow six lovely streams into the Rhine. It is the starting point of Hunsrückbahn [a now partially abandoned traction railway].
Population is now close to 16,000, 80+ years after this postcard was purchased.
This is number 127 in the series.

This week begins with an illustration of the old Bacharach House instead of the Rhine itself.

The description on the back translates as follows:
The old house in Bacharach is one of the most beautiful gems of old German architecture on the Rhine. The house, dating from the 1368, is of high architectural significance, proved by the fact that it was repaired in 1897 by state and provincial funds.
It is number 122 in the series.
 

The week finishes with a view of the artist’s home town of Assmannshausen.

The description on the back of the card translates (crudely) as:
Assmannshausen with the artist’s home “The Crown” of Bushels, Freiligrath, Geibel. Knight House is famous for its fiery red; directly on the Rhine with a view of Swiss House, Rhinestein and Falkenburg.
It is number 116 in the series.

Here is a sunset view of Cologne, Germany featuring the famous cathedral as seen from the far side of the Rhine.

The description on the back of the card translates roughly to:
Cologne
In the Rhine, in the beautiful river
as Reflected in the waves
with his Big Dome
the Great Holy Cologne.
