If you know both english and german, and the german article has info that’s missing in the english article, then this is a perfect time to edit wiki! You can just translate the missing info and add it to the english article!
I actually only know a few words of German, but I have a habit of checking the other language wikis with Google Translate if something seems missing. XD
The English language wiki cites the patent as ~1890, so it’s not far off.
In any case, my wiki editing days are long over. I was in The Trenches(tm) back in 2010-2014 and I have no desire to return. Arguing for the validity of edits is a young man’s game!
You can always “fire and forget”. Meaning you can make the edit, then not ever look at it again. For a very niche article like this one i doubt there are people fighting about anything.

Anyway, just a suggestion for a fun thing to do
