Based on the style of a women's dress pattern that was part of the same lot, my guess is the early 1920s.
Since I have no knowledge of German, I've relied on Google Translate to help me out here, so this post will be of a somewhat minimalist nature.
This is, apparently, a "sculptor's coat," which may be as generic a term as "artist's smock," or "shop coat." Available in sizes for both men and young men, this is a nice example of its kind. Gathering the fronts and back into a yoke provides some additional ease, so that the coat could be worn over a suit jacket or a heavy sweater. And you can't go wrong with four pockets!
Ullstein Verlag, a large publishing house based in Berlin, published Die Dame, a ladies magazine, and this line of home sewing patterns - a business model similar to that of McCall.
It's easy to imagine this smock being worn in the studios at the Bauhaus.

just wanted you to know that you blog is appreciated thanks
Do you know where one might find a pattern like this?
Hello Blogger Your best bet is to find a modern sewing pattern for medical wear and modify it. I've done this very successfully by starting with a lab coat pattern and adding yokes front and back and button cuffs on the sleeves. At any moment one of the "big three" pattern companies usually offers a pattern for scrubs and lab coats. You can often get these patterns quite cheaply on eBay. Good luck!
