Vintage Haeberlein-Metzger Nurnberg biscuit tin.  A collectible tin made by the Haeberlein-Metzger company, a well-known German brand famous for producing traditional Nürnberger Lebkuchen (gingerbread cookies) and other sweets.
Haeberlein-Metzger has a long history dating back to the 1800s in Nuremberg, Germany, where the company became famous for its high-quality gingerbread, a specialty of the region. The company is known for producing elaborately decorated tins, especially around the holidays, which contained their baked goods.
The "Henkersteg" tin is often decorated with detailed imagery of Nuremberg's landmarks. Henkersteg refers to a historic bridge in Nuremberg, which is a famous medieval bridge that crosses the Pegnitz River. The tin often includes illustrations of the bridge or other architectural features like castles, possibly with a blue floral design or other decorative accents.
The condition of the tin: It has kept its original colouring well. There is no sign of rust.
The combination of blue floral patterns and castle imagery on the tin points to a classic Bavarian or Franconian aesthetic, often used to evoke a sense of tradition and nostalgia associated with the region's history.
