The plague reads “In gratitude and loyalty [from] the students [to] their masters”. Master as in “master craftsman”. So I assume these are two masters of a workshop (possibly some metalworkers) who taught several students their craft who gifted or made this plague for them.
The text below says: In gratitude and loyalty, the students [to] their masters
I wouldn’t rule out that these two are just teachers and this might be a graduation gift from their students.
The text roughly translates as, “In thankfulness and loyalty from the students of their Masters.”
At that time Lenin wasn’t a thing. If Communists then Marx and Engels.
Aren’t there names written at the bottom of the pictures in cursive?
How does the back of it look like?
Well the names, or at least their signatures, are given at the bottom. The left one is called Rupf mist likely, the other name I can’t read.
I would say either metal workers or jewelers, or something to do with academia. This looks like something you’d give out as very fancy retirement gift for a teacher/professor.
Any other signs on the reverse?
The inscription implies these guys are academics
Their family names are written below them in old German cursiv script (Sütterlin/Kurrent)

Communists
They look like Lenin and Marx.
I don’t recognize them as someone famous.
