Baader Planetarium...?

[Chriske]

I have no manual and do not know if it's complete or not. Do not know how old it is.
Does anyone know what it is and how it works...?

Don’t think it’s Baader though- 1925? a proper antique!

”This kit combines several individual apparatuses, such as universal apparatus, planetarium, tellurium, lunarium, armillary sphere, has theodolite or equatoreal, with crosshair telescope. The bottled sky with a LIQUID horizon without a screw or joint as a navigation device, as a sundial, as a rotatable star chart, enables Foucault's pendulum experiment, eclipses of Jupiter's moons, changes in shape of Saturn's rings and in particular facilitates understanding of the difficult precession, etc. 
The instruction booklet with 125 illustrations works as a course the developmental path of astronomical knowledge. The student comes to the truth through his own research into false paths, which becomes a personal experience for him. 
He acquires his worldview in order to possess it. ”
