Passau (DE)

Passau is a town (50,566 inhabitants end 2015) in Lower Bavaria, Germany, at the border with Austria. It is also known as the Dreiflüssestadt or Town of Three Rivers, because the Danube is joined at Passau by the Inn from the south and the Ilz from the north.

It used stamps issued by the Bavaria (Bayern) State until 1920.
