It's the German Weather Service. Set your decoder to 50 Baud, 450 Hz spacing 
and you can easily read it, it's Baudot code. The contents are synoptic 
weather bulletins and occasional clear text weather forecasts and other 
stuff.

They transmit from northern Germany, near Hamburg, with several transmitters 
of around 1 to 10kW (20kW on longwave).

See below for other frequencies (in German):
