Oberammergau Passion Play Souvenir Sticker

This item is a vintage-style souvenir sticker featuring a vibrant illustration of Oberammergau, Germany. The sticker is rectangular with a rounded top and is primarily white, with a thin red border outlining the central pictorial design. The main image depicts a scenic view of the village nestled in a valley, surrounded by mountains. Prominently featured are buildings resembling the Passionstheater, a significant landmark in Oberammergau. In the background, snow-capped mountains rise, with 'KOFEL 1542m' inscribed vertically along the right side next to one of the peaks, indicating the Kofel mountain and its elevation. A heraldic shield with a green dragon is visible on the right-hand side of the illustration, likely representing local folklore or a coat of arms. The word 'OBERAMMERGAU' is emblazoned in bold white letters on a red banner at the top of the sticker, while 'PASSIONSTHEATER' is written in smaller green letters at the bottom center of the illustration. The colors are rich and appear somewhat faded, which could indicate age or intentional artistic style. The material appears to be paper or a similar thin adhesive-backed material. The edges of the sticker show minor wear typical of handling, but no significant tears, creases, or major damage are visible. The overall condition suggests it has been stored relatively well. The design aesthetic points to an mid to late 20th-century souvenir, possibly from a Passion Play performance. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced tourist items of that era.
