Dear all, please help me to find a similar or so close free font set for this german award box. Made in the 1930-1940 in germany. Many thanks.

Looks very much like Bodoni Black Condensed. It's not an exact match (look at the R & S) but it's very close, plus Bodoni has been produced by many different font companies over the decades so there are a lot of slight design variants out there to consider.

This looks even closer - Ultra Bodoni Extra Condensed, designed in 1933 by Morris Fuller Benton for American Type Founders.
