Postcard for some sort of student festival, but I can't figure out the third word - something to do with fraternities. The buildings are in the courtyard of the Student Section of the exhibition.

   

This seems to be an independently produced card - i.e., not a part of the "Official" numbered cards, but it has the official logo of the show. The text on the back says the image is part of a set showing "The history of the development of picture printing." I have seen fifteen or twenty others of this type - there are several sets.

   

Another independently produced card, with a drawing of the Dance Hall in "Old Heidelberg" of the Student Section.

   

A few months later - the grounds of the Exhbition are being used by German soldiers to drill in training for the War.

   

Leipzig's newly completed train station, the largest in Europe (still true).

   

This is not a card from the exhibition, but a popular one from the trade fair section of Leipzig.

09/10/2010 - Günter Clemens of Leipzig sent me a listing of most of the postcards (his listing is the source of the brief list and descriptions at the top of each page of postcards), and images of a few I was missing. He also answered a few of my questions - many thanks to Günter for his assistance!
