Message: Thanks John For the information, so technically there wouldn’t be a rate book from municipality to municipality as combinations could be in the thousands. So as an example, which is the one I am looking at, and correct me if I am wrong. Saxony which has 418 municipalities, so the letter was send from Hohenstein Ernsttha, to Annaberg Bucholz over 30km from each other, at had to cross 3 or 4 municipalities so I would be looking at the postal rates under Im Fernverkehr (Long distance) so 20pf on the letter is correct.
