A German Romantic Fantasy Postcard of the 1920s

While almost every single postcard of this type was made in France, even if sent from another country, apparently there was at least one publisher in Germany as well. I had no idea until I was browsing images online and found a couple with German-language verses. While the versos were not available, the publisher marks weren't any of the French ones I've seen (though there were a LOT of different French ones! Future post!). So I headed out to ebay.de to try and find one for my own collection. It was not easy-- there were plenty of this type, but as soon as I looked closely I'd see "PC Paris" or one of the other major French brands. Finally, though, I succeeded! 1920s or early 1930s, dyed and hand-tinted, with a German verse. The publisher, "HB" is one I've not seen before. There is no "made in" mark, as one often sees, so it is impossible to say with 100% certainty that it's made in Germany and not France-- but if not, well, that's even more interesting, eh?
