Windsor, probably late 1950s, size 59cm. Not sure what German hat company made this hat but it's a very nice one and in great condition. Really like the pleated ribbon and bow treatment.

Hückel Weilheim Mercur Homburg, size 59cm 7 3/8, great condition, probably mid to late 1950s. The brim curl on this one is fantastic. Hückel Weilheim made really high quality hats during this time period. Awesome attention to detail!

Manfred, Thanks! I am sure you will find one! This photo in natural light shows the brim curl, felt color and finish better.
