The fifth Hindenburg series of Get to Know Germany appeared in September 1934 and is refered to as P236 in the Michel series. In this series the green tones are replaced by brown images and text. The first set bears the printers number 34-53-1 and consists of 9 cards. Following on from this series, multiple series were released in the same format, all the way up to the final issue 41-183-1. A total of 123 sets of 9, 13 sets of 8 and 1 set of 7 were released for a total of 1218 individual cards (999 different photos).

Most of these cards have the 'Lernt Deutschland Kennen!' heading but there were several local issues bearing:

1. 'Besucht das schöne Badnerland' (9 cards)
2. 'Baden' (27 cards in 1937)
3. 'Besucht den Schwartzwalb!' (9 cards in 1936)
4. 'Besucht das schöne Schlesien' (18 cards in 1939) and (8 cards in 1939)
5. 'Dich ruft das deutsche Meer!' (1 set of 9 in 1937)
6. 'Besucht Thüringen, das grüne Herz Deutschlands' (45 cards in 6 sets) and
7. 'Lernt das schöne Sachsen Kennen' on a single set of 9 cards.

Another variation is found in the 9 cards from set 38-114-1 which bears a set of crossed swords as well as the heading 'Lernt das schöne Sachsen kennen' 9 cards from 38-114-1.

Finally this series was the first to depict "Lernt Deutschland Kennen!" Headings with various regional sub headings for example:
1. 'Erhole Dich im Westerwald' set 37-100-1
2. 'Besucht das schöne Taubertal' set 37-102-1
3. 'Besucht das schöne Ahrtal' set 38-108-1
4. 'Besucht die grüne Steiermark' set 38-123-1
5. 'Dich ruft der Bodensee' set 38-125-1
6. 'Willkommen im Badischen Odenwald und Frankenland' set 39-129-1
7. 'Besucht das schöne Badnerland' set 39-140-1
8. 'Besucht das schöne Rastatt' set 39-146-1

The earliest known use of this postcard is 19th Sep 1934
