German Black anyone?

Got this one from a friend.  Not much known about it other than Mother plant had German origins. Hoped to be somewhat cold tolerant (I have in ground now for testing) Mostly closed eye, smaller ant can get in it.  Will at least partially dry on the tree.  Good Flavor, not dis-similar from MBVS in flavor.  Gets nice and jammy as it gets riper / dryer. Any thoughts among known Cultivars?

Congrats looks like a nice fig

I like the leaf shape.

My German Black looks suspiciously like a Brown Turkey, based on the first fruit. Yours looks more like a Hardy Chicago type. Nice.

Not known under that name over here in Germany.
It also doesn't remind me of a known variety...but it looks quite good though!

Thanks for the comments. It is  a great tasting fig that turns jammy as it ripens / dries on the tree.
Someone suggested BAYENFEIGE VIOLETTA,,
Thoughts anyone? Feifgenbaum?
