The design shows an artists hand drawn view of some of the buildings of Berlin, including the Brandenburger Tor, in the top, centre of the card. To the left of the city view is a "Strength Through Joy" (K.d.F) logo. Test along the left-hand edge reads "Sonderpostkarte, Abgabepreis 20 Rpf" - 'Special postcard, selling price 20 Rpf' and on the bottom left-hand side is the inscription:ERSTE
