It is the cap from a fraternity in a university. I do not know which one.
Mützen - Otto Wesely OHG - Studentenartikel
According to a list at Wikipedia the emblem could be from the 'Burschenschaft Normannia zu Leipzig' or its sibling organisation 'Burschenschaft Normannia-Leipzig zu Marburg'. Both were founded in 1868 and they are still existing.
With best wishes

In memory of my father who was in K-Einsatz, combat engagement, with the RAD in the Alps in 1945, of my grandfather who was with the IR 87 during campaign in France in 1940 and of my grand-uncle who served in the Gardegrenadierregiment Nr. 3 "Königin Elisabeth" and who was killed in action at Craonne, Chemin des Dames in France in 1917
What Heinrich Mann and the DEFA had to say about such headwear.

I think it was given as a Christmas gift from one member of the fraternity to another in 1932, but I am not really positive on that one.
".....Mit der Seidenfutterstickerei gibt es keine Verwechslungen mehr. Couleurname, Rezeptionsdatum, Burschungsdatum und andere Informationen als Stickerei im "Deckel" sind nun einmal haltbarer als Kugelschreiber...."
Oh I would gladly trade this cap for that one ha-ha. I think I will pass on it since it is not military related.thank you for the fast help
