Hi Rene ,
It's a mortar fuse , transportation container.
They pack all these into a wooden box and off you go ( to the Russian front ) or wherever
I have some 88mm AA fuse ones, same construction material but bigger.
Come in 3 Colours
Black , Brown & Burgundy , like a timer thing , they explode at different heights.
Cheers Rick

It’s a container for the ELAZ 25 electric fuzes used in large Luftwaffe bombs.
