Cool ok..

The Made In' was required for export in the language of the Country it was going to. USA was a huge consumer so they had the spelling figured out in advance!

The Tuners look good for between the wars as does the bass. Many 19th century Orchestra basses made in Germany have much wider lower bouts. Your bass is the later smaller design across the bottom.

It looks like a nice bass so enjoy it as you have in the past.
