Doesn't "aktuell" mean they are still being produced in that line? I'm a little confused

Oops.. I spoke too early, I actually could use a little help. This is the answer I got:

in den 60er und 70er Jahren hat die Firma Hanika unsere Hausmodelle gebaut. Am ehesten kommt es der aktuellen 50er Serie gleich. Preis damals ca.500-700 DM.

Decke : massive Fichte Zargen & Boden Palisander**

By "50er" I assume he can't mean the fifties because he specified the sixties and seventies. What does this mean?

It was definitely loved, my buddy got it at a flea market. I'll keep you updated :)

Thank you so much! That is absolutely genius

 

So it seems like otto gläsel was a store in germany that sold soli/hanika guitars with their own label and logo, but I have no idea if this is a hanika or if they did this with other guitars too. I couldn't find the model online.

Update: I have emailed the company and they have confirmed that hanika built their guitars in the sixties and seventies. The amazing gentleman who responded to me said that this is closest to their models from the fifties, worth about 500-700 DM at the time. The top seems to be solid spruce, the sides and back rosewood.

If you're in germany I would totally recommend purchasing an instrument from them, they were incredibly experienced and kind, and this guitar –despite 70 years of wear– looks and sounds gorgeous.

It seems to be a pretty down to earth operation, with not too many employees. Check them out, and check out flea markets in your area. Thanks to @[email protected] for all the help.

(I own one budget guitar)
