On the plate inside the assembly, is a tag that has the caption "Bauteil" (component) and there is a number stamped in ink on the assembly.
Unknown german ww2 wing. Aircraft? Flying bomb? Rocket?

Hi all,
to help for having your own impression I made some more pics this morning.
Sheet aluminum is 0.8 mm.
I think bots half were painted separately, than connected and afterwards again painted from the outside with a thin layer.
There is noting inside, only dirt.
The screw heads show traces of unsuccessful attempt to open.

Yes but it should have a gruppenummer and part number. The ink number is not that.

Yes, but what means that? I see aircraft technology, aircraft rivets, an aircraft producer. Same with that suitcase, produced by Eberspächer, a company who produces aircraft parts in WW2 and after the war for a short time suitcases:

In my opinion if a wartime piece of aircraft has a makers mark it will follow luftwaffe part nomenclature, number consisting of baugruppe and partnumber. Postwar i dont know, although the soviets kept building german gear with makers mark and luftwaffe nomenclature. I.g the flightstick.

The questions about the type type plate, Luftwaffe or not, was the motive to research a little the war history of Raguhn near Dessau and the Heerbrandt company. I found a few informations:
- 18.4.1945 end of war in Dessau
- 21.4.1945 removing of parts of the Junkers Motorenwerke at Dessau, important documents were brought to the USA
- 1.7.1945 take over the region by the Red Army
- Since Sept. 1945 restart of construction-work at Junkers in Dessau: EF-126, EF-131 to 137
- Okt. 1945 request by the Red Army to start again engine- and aircraftproduction
- 22.10.1946 beginning of the evacuation of factory and staff to the UdSSR
- Okt. 1945 – 1.11.1946 Dismantling the factory
Maybe it is helpful.
Isn't it this one on the right?

Don't think so. The object only has one wing tip.

Several Luftwaffe "towed" fuel tanks might fit in. Trying to find dimensions might be hard

It could be only half the wing instead of the full unit and the size does look close.

I had missed the comment about the same colour top and bottom.
If it is an interchangeable part left and right, as it appears to be if a wing, why would you paint each side different?

If you see the ink stamp on the outside of the "wing", you could think the "/L" means "Links" = german for left side. In that case it is not interchangeable. But maybe the construction is nevertheless interchangeable.

Good point.

Need a book about Deichselschlepps. "An alternative to fitting an aircraft with supplementary fuel tanks was to tow a fuel container with wings (Deichselschlepp)". Or this bunch

In Shipachi's illustration, look closely at the tower, where it's anchored on the bomb (tank) via a short structure.
You'll see the joints where the right and left wings attach to that structure.

He means the object posted by the OP has just one tip and so would appear to be half of that 262 towed tank wing posted by Shinpachi.
Looking at the linked post above, I would suggest that the wings on that tank are much more than 2 meters span.
My guess is simple. If there were two types of flying bombs (or fuel tanks), not only 500kg but 250kg for example, for the Me 262, the wing span for the smaller one would be around 2 meters.
