Does anybody speak / read German?

[Living*Doll*Vintage]

I've had this scarf forever and I'm tired of looking at it - I don't want to get rid of it until I know what it means. With my luck it could entitle the owner to be Queen of Germany and I wouldn't find out till someone else bought it and THEY got to be queen:D

Thanks for any help you can give!

Here is the same "Span Reitschule":

"Schule" is "school" so I think this is for a riding school. "Gruss aus Wien" means "Greetings from Vienna."

Aha ... "Span" (see period after "Span.") is apparently an abbreviation for "Spanische":

Spanish riding school.

"Hofburg" is the imperial Habsburg palace in Vienna, where Sissi kept all her lovely dresses, "Michaelertor" is the entrance arcade to the palace.

I'm not sure I would like te be queen of Germany/Austria: history shows few of them died of old age... :scratchchin:

I was going to say that Vienna has an internationally-famous riding school, but TresChic has already mentioned it. The scarf is likely a tourist souvenir, I think.
