Hello,
Very nice looking piece. I've never seen one before but it is quite impressive. What is the size of it and is it made out of ceramic or metal?

The plaque was to be fixed on the outwall of the farm house to demonstrate the the owner family named "Henningsen" was owner of this farm uninterrupted since 1672 and owned the farm as an entailed /ancestral estate (Erbeingesessen).
There was a special law (Reichserbhofgesetz from 1933) which gave the conditions under what rules a farm was a Erbhof.

Here you will find (in German) the explanation - and also a photo of a plaque like yours to indicate an Erbhof.
