From 1950 to 1955 the trademarks changed to designs incorporating a  bee. The back stamp is TMK-2. 

The stamp is sometimes referred to as the Full Bee Mark.

This is the full bee TMK-2 mark used from 1940-1959.  It is marked just “Germany” because it was made before World War II ended.

Germany wasn't split into Eastern and Western Germany until after World War II.  So this piece was probably dated around 1940 to 1945.
