Hello

This is the standard teletype used by the whole Wehrmacht, and later by the Bundeswehr, not counting the civilian users. Your exemplar is from before 1945 (after 1946, they are marked "Zuffenhausen", the factory being moved).

It's the German version of the very common US Teletype 15 (largely used by the Allied armies), Lorenz being the license holder. You could find the "receive only" version (without keyboard) in every newspaper room around the world until maybe 1980.
