It's a certificate of service time and conduct issued to soldiers at the end of their term of service (in this case, a brief period from 29 Sept. 1938 to 22 Oct. 1938, which may have been a call-up related to the Sudeten crisis, or simply an exercise or training period for reservists). His conduct was good [gut].

Chemnitz II was the Wehrmeldeamt (draft board) in charge of him.
