Can you decipher all of this for me? And is this related to the Franco-Prussian War?

Hello,
It is addressed to : OBERGARTNER M. DEGENHARD, DRESDEN-NEUSTADT, PALAISGARTEN
The Back stamp reads : BRIEFP - AUSGABE, VII 1/2, 24 XI
The front stamp is to small to read for me.
Obergartner is translated CHIEF GARDENER.
And I believe that the letter came from someone who worked at the Muskauer Park

The Fürst-Pückler Park Bad Muskau (Polish: Park Muzakowski) in Bad Muskau in the German-Polish border region of the Upper Lausitz is a landscape park in English landscape style with an area of 545 ha. The park is located on either side of the Lausitzer Neiße and has therefore been divided into a German and a Polish section since 1945.
The park was built between 1815 and 1844 by order of Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785–1871) who, after traveling through England, was impressed by the English landscape style. In 1845 he sold park and castle to Von Nostitz and Von Hatzfeld for lack of money. The new owners sold it a year later to Prince of the Netherlands Willem Frederik of Oranje-Nassau. In 1852, he appointed Eduard Petzold, who was responsible for the construction and expansion of the park until 1872.
The maintenance of the garden was already declining among the last owners, but fell into disrepair in the days of the GDR. After 1990 maintenance on both sides of the border was resumed and since 2004 the park has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Palaisgarten (Dresden)
The Palaisgarten is a garden in Dresden between Marienbrücke, Japanese Palace, Neustädter Elbufer and Palaisplatz.
The palace garden was created in 1715 as a baroque garden or French garden for Jakob Heinrich Graf von Flemming together with the later Japanese palace. As early as 1718/1719, it was transformed into a terrace garden. The occasion was the celebrations for the wedding of the Saxon Elector Prince and later Elector Friedrich August II. The garden was decorated with baroque sculptures by Pietro Balestra and Antonio Corradini. Corradini's magnificent marble vases were later transferred to the Great Garden.
With several redesigns in the second half of the 18th century, the character of a baroque garden was lost. Instead, the palace garden was converted into a farm garden of the garden nursery. During this time (1770/1780) two plane trees were planted, which are still in the Palaisgarten today.
When the palace garden was redesigned between 1820 and 1831, the area behind the laid-out fortifications was also included. Between 1847 and 1852, Carl Adolph Terscheck redesigned it into an English landscape garden and rounded off the park to the Little Marien Bridge. A section of the green Altendresdner ramparts can still be seen in the northwestern part of the garden.
The palace garden was reconstructed in the 1980s. In the Palaisgarten, the larger-than-life sculpture made of marble liberated by Charlotte Sommer-Landgraf from 1987 to 1990 is set up.

This is what I found about Mr. Degenhard..........
Dresden tree irrigation system.
Who knows what difficulties penetrating irrigation of trees on cobbled streets knots, he must thankfully recognize that the City Council of Dresden the usual there, by the city gardener Degenhardt constructed, self-acting Irrigation device on the big one general Berlin exhibition in the spring year 1890.

Excellent. thanks. The other mark is so indistinct I cannot read it, though I think its a censor's mark. I do not understand either postal marking.

This is new to my collection. It appears to be a censored cover. It was sent from Muskau, now called Bad Muskau to Dresden-Neustadt, Königreich Sachsen (Kingdom of Saxony). The postal marking on the front appears to be some sort of censor's mark. Paper is glued over the return address, probably the act of the censor. The back stamp appears to read: "BriefP-Ausgabe" with VII1/2 {I think this is the hour} and 24 XI which is probably November 24.
Can you decipher all of this for me? And is this related to the Franco-Prussian War?
