Hello, Lofty, welcome to the forum.
I have seen an example of your card in your English forum, addressed to this man. I think, it was not a famous dealer or other known man in Berlin, but only a private collector in this time, whose speciality were postal stationeries. Either he sent these cards himself to his own address in Berlin or friends of him sent him the cards.

Hello Kartenhai,
Thank you for your speedy reply, I guess I will never know who this man was.
Thank you once again. -
Hello Lofty,
I found these informations by the Zurich University in Switzerland under number 10307 about a Heinrich Treitel from Berlin:
He was born at 1875, 1894 he was half a year in summer on the University of Zurich as philosophy student, and his address was to this time Berlin, Victoriastr. 7. May be, he moved later to the address Berlin, Hardenbergstr. 9 a in the district Charlottenburg 2.
His last name Treitel could be a Jewish name.1923 like on the card he was 48 years old, perhaps he could be the collector you are searching for.

Gruß Gott, Kartenhai,
Thank you for your information, it fits well with what has been sent to me from Berlin. If you find anymore information please pass it on.
Tschüs
Lofty
Heinrich Treitel’s academic degree was Dipl. ing. He was a Member of the Berliner Ganzsachensammler-Verein, an association of collectors of stationaries. He was one of the early collectors of postmarks in Germany. I’ve seen many stationaries with his printed address, so I suppose he was a subscriber of the service of Fritz Paeplow, responsible for the postmark- and novelty-service in the association.Treitel was responsible for the postmark-news in the magazine “Deutsche Sammler-Zeitung”.
