I need help reading this. I bought a 106 year old house and it’s full of old postcards and letters aswell as school notes. This is almost impossible for me to read.

That’s really bad handwriting.
The text is something like
Mit den besten
Willen jetzt|just nicht
möglich, da in
dringender[?] Postarbeit!
Viele hzl. Grüße
Dein …

/r/kurrent is the right place to ask for these transcriptions.
That’s so amazing! Mind if you share some more pics?
That’s old German writing.
Even I can’t read that
This is really nice haha! Who knows, all these letters might recreate a story and made into a movie someday. I suggest not throwing them out and try to find someone who is interested in getting them
Perhaps try r/Austria
I speak and read German without problems but this shit is impossible to read
Looks like an Enkeltrick
Looks haunted 😀
there’s a Facebook group called “sütterlinschrift (kurrentschrift) altdeutsche Schrift lesen und schreiben”, they can help you translate some of the stuff. obviously don’t post 10 full length letters there, but small stuff like that usually gets translated pretty fast. 🙂
Ask your family doctor for translation – usually, they are the ones that can read these ancient scripts.
and here I thought my handwriting was bad lol
That’s a german doctor my guy
The writing looks so beautiful, elegant. But absolutely unreadable.
On the left looks like a short Text, the right looks like Signatures. You can MAYBE read some of the words on the left given this hypothesis. The Word at the lower end with the two dots above could be “Grüße” for example.
