Postcard that combines the themes of energy conservation in 1982 with the historical Old Town Hall built in 1422 with a Trout Fountain in Würzburg, Germany, could be a unique and interesting concept. ,Old Town Hall with its Trout Fountain, which I previously mentioned was located in Würzburg, Germany. When it comes to energy conservation in such buildings, especially those with historical significance, it’s essential to strike a balance between preserving their historical character and implementing energy-efficient measures.
