What was the Germans equivalent of Bell Target?

I think what the Germans were shooting during that period may be answered here.

That is brilliant thank you.
Seems air rifle target shooting in Germany at the start of the century was very niche:

‘The sporty shooting with the air rifle did not occur until the 1950s, before that air rifles were considered children's toys.’

It was all about the zimmerstutzens.

Many thanks,

No probem.I've long had an interest in Zimmerstutzens I find their quirky appearance and the way they load etc very interesting,with their very low power and but for our draconian gun laws they should be enjoyed FAC free by airgun shooters here today IMO.

Oh well!
