It is Solingen Rostfrei silverplate marked Herm zur Nieden. My mom bought it in or near Munich, Germany in the 60s.

Yes, very disappointing, it's like they never even heard of Solingen.

Etsy was better, they had quite a few Solingen patterns but none was exact match.

rost frie means stainless....as in "rust free" There is a lot of Solingen rost frie flatware listed on eBay....don't know it any is your pattern.....but have a look.

...and try the European eBays. If this pattern wasn't exported, you might need to go to the source!

(Solingen is where it was made. I assume Herm zur Nieden is the maker?)

Yes Herm may be short for Hermann. I've searched the German eBay and did find a maker by that name. I assume it translates roughly "Hermann the lower, or younger"
