Don't know for sure exactly what it is but I would interpret the German marking "Wirkungsbereich bei Zielhohe 3000 und 5000m" as "Scope of operation at 3000 - 5000 metres". The rings seem to be graduated at particular intervals upto 5000m. The scale line or graticule to the left is marked kilometers and there seems to be a scale of 1:100000 marked at the top. So, my guess is that this associated with anti-aicraft ranging / weapon sighting. Mabe it is a manual aid to calculation or part of another equipment. As I say, that's a best guess opinion.
Regards

Given the "Heavy 150cm" marking, something to do with that gun.
