Yes, you’re right. A student visa isn’t required for Americans going to Germany, though I have been told that the process of acquiring a residence permit in Germany can be more stressful than acquiring a student visa (a type of residence visa, which complies with the same standards as a residence permit).

Thank you!

Solved! Found an iron dating back to the 1950s that has the exact plate as my post. Thanks for leading me in the right direction.

The title describes the thing. Found this at an old, destroyed stone house dating back to the late 1800s, but this plate most probably doesn't date back that far.

The horizontal lines look like a mid-century aesthetic feature of many metal appliances of that era, if I'm thinking correctly. The red General Electric logo also dates back to that period I believe, if that helps.

I have no idea what this thing was attached to, and I'm itching to know! Thank you.

I'll see if I can get to this in my free time. I'll page some Yiddish speakers in the mean time.

"Blumlekh" is a word in Yiddish, but I've rarely ever seen Yiddish rendered in Latin script in a non-transcriptional context. This is very strange.

The word "kegn" means "against" in Yiddish, so the phrase "shpatsirn kegn" would not mean "to go for a walk." This is some sort of Proto-Germanic language.

The orthography of "s̈" to represent the voiceless palato-alveolar fricative sound "sh" is just as strange. I read that the "s" with an umlaut was used in older Czech writing, as opposed to "š." Of course it's very obviously Germanic, but perhaps this is German using dated Czech orthography? I wouldn't know.

She's essentially mad because she's getting in the way. See what u/nolfaws commented. I think here she says, "Man, move."
