What is an "Outpatient Business" ID Card?
I wonder if someone would be kind enough to help with the correct translation of this small oilcloth ID. I purchased it almost 25 years ago and always thought it was an ambulance driver's ID. After trying to get the correct translation of "Ambulantes Gewerbe" I got Outpatient Business ! What in the world is that?
So, does anyone know what this ID really is? I would appreciate the correct translation very much. Thanks in advance.

More or less, that's it. It appears to be a license, so to speak, to allow him to work in that branch of business. I guess you had to have certain skills/qualifications, so the patients (receivers of services) knew they were being taken care of by a trained, qualified person.
Whether it deals with wheelchairs, prosthetics, medicines, etc., no idea....
Hope that helps a little.

EDIT: the back page also shows him to be allowed to service the 3 weekly markets at the towns/cities listed.

Unless it was nighttime, or the weather was bad, and you were running out of gas - then it was a sweaty nightmare, like a monkey f*ing a skunk.

There you can see some people, working in an "ambulantes Gewerbe".
The man was an "Amtswart", that is in English an "office official". He was responsible for three farmer's markets in Berlin.

Good info Uwe, thanks very much! So it's a mobile salesman...who'd have thunk it?
