What is the surname (?)

What is the surname (?)

I can read the Hans part but can't make out the surname, is it Schaefer, Echaefer or some other variant?

My szóstak, Sigismund III Vasa, 1625

One szóstak was an equivalent of 6 Groszy (will use gr as abbreviation)

To put that in perspective (approx price for early 1620s):

Carpenter, 1 day's wage - 14 gr

Mason, 1 day's wage - 18 gr

Mug/garniec of beer - 3 gr

Korzec of rye (~31 kg or ~68 pounds) - 80 gr

Pair of ordinary shoes - 80–150 gr

Barrel of herrings - 20 gr

The relationship between nominal value and silver content is also interesting for a 1625 szóstak. After 1623 the coin contained considerably less silver than earlier szóstaks, part of the response to the monetary crisis.

Help identify ships on two WW2-era postcards

Hello, first-time poster here. I hope I picked the right sub for this.

I got these two postcards at a flea market. My question is: what ships are they? If it’s not possible to identify the exact ships, then at least what type of ships are they?

All I can say that they are German.

German postcard from 1917

Hello! Before anyone asks, yes, this is yet another repost of a single postcard that I originally included together with several others. I probably shouldn't have done that, since that post could have been quite overwhelming.

For all responses, I would like to thank in advance.

Occupations and addresses/places of residence
Date and place of marriage
Parents’ names, if available, ideally with the same details as for the spouses

Postcard from 1917

Hello! Before anyone asks, yes, this is a repost of a single postcard that I originally included together with several others. I probably shouldn't have done that, since the post could have been quite overwhelming. But, going back to the point:

I know that on the postcard (the area underlined in green), it most probably says “Juni 1917.”

What I’m interested in is the list of (presumably) ranks and surnames/names on the left, as well as the rest of the text on the right.

Image 1 - Full unedited
Image 2 - text underlined
Image 3 and 4 - close ups of left and right
