I looked at the photographs without reading your post properly, and was going to suggest German - then I noticed you said you bought it in Germany! So that's always a good sign. It's hard to see properly the design or quality from the small photographs, but it's likely by a lesser contemporary/competitor of WMF, c.1900-ish.
If you check out eBay, you'll find it's dotted with very similar pieces - almost exclusively in Germany.
