How old do you think this book is ?
My dad used it to study when he first came to Germany , then he passed it on to me.

Is there no copyright info? On one of the first pages, there should be small print, likely on the bottom, that includes info on what edition it is, and the year of the copyright.
I’d say 1970s, maybe late 1960s.
The style of the graphics and typography on the cover seems familiar. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen books from the same publishing company that were from that time period.
[First published in 1976](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/172599.Deutsche_Sprachlehre_f_r_Ausl_nder)
Schulz, Dora und Heinz Griesbach: Deutsche Sprachlehre für Ausländer, Max Hueber Verlag, München 1955. ISBN 978-3-19001-006-6
So first edition came out in 1955. It was considered the earliest standard German language book for foreigners.
