Hi,
I think it´s kind of (transfer) print rather than real painting. My favourite german candidate
for these older looking pieces would be Alfred Taube / presumely 1960´s or 70´s:
ebay search (http://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=alfred+taube&_sacat=See-All-Categories)

If it's a transfer, you may be able to see the printing dots under a strong magnifyling glass. Scratching is not a test for a transfer. Hand enamelling and enamel transfers are all fired on. Schwarzlot just refers to the black/brown enamel
