German phrase:

von der kontrol
stelle für denkmal

from the control
place for monument


Tony

We're nearly there!  :)

Von der Kontrol(l)-
stelle für Denkmal-
schutz

From the inspection authority for the protection of historic buildings and monuments

All the best,
Karen

Edit: Interestingly, the stamp has "Kontrol" with one "l", which would be incorrect today. But maybe the spelling was different back then.
