Well translated it is marine news agency.
Here's a link for the area which has some good info for WW2 involvement, not specifically with this unit but overall.

Nice Metalfaden and not often encountered tally.

Hi Ron,
Yes these are news/information/intelligence tallies. I have a few and they are radio stations. I'm not sure about this one, it doesn't come up on the list so even rarer I think. One also came up for cuxhaven too and that was also not on the list. There was one on eBay.de recently that didn't come up on the list either - warnemünde.
So interesting to see this tally. Thanks for sharing.

In Angolia's "Volume 2" he did not listed all locations but just noted that it's written Marinenachrichtenstelle+Location.
Can we see a list of all existing locations anywhere?Comment

It is interesting that in the list provided by link that Heligoland is not mentioned.

Marinenachrichtenstelle was a more modern designation for the former Marinesignalstellen.
In english: naval communication station or naval signal station
There was no use for intelligence service or any other secret affairs, just small landbased units on the coast with a signal-mast and a wireless radio transmitter. They organized the communication between ship-shore with signal flags or wireless by morse code. No radar, no observation equipment.
Still you can visit these in Wilhelmshaven, Arkona and other places, nice red-brick builded houses on the coast for one or two dozend signal-trained sailors.
