Hello! Nazi Ink stamper does anybody know the history behind this or what it even says or was used for? Any info helps just curious of what it is or meant. Letters are pretty worn out & zero german. Thanks!

Looks pretty evil to me
Deutsche Reichsbahn Bürgerabfertigung (and then name of a city?)
Edit: Güterabfertigung
I read “Deutsche Reichsbahn” German Railways”Güterabfertigung mü?????bu?ch” goods clearance “something”
It seem that this is the stamp of the “Deutsche Reichsbahn” (the writing on top) which is the german railway of the nazi-era. The writing on the bottom is the department and the city/region of the stamp. It seems to be from the “Güterabfertigung” (goods clearance) of a City I can not identify. It was probably used to stamp IDs of workers, similar to this [picture](https://dutchmilitaria.com/product/deutsche-reichsbahn-personenausweis-with-passphoto-1942/) I found (it is sadly not the same stamp). I hope that helps.
So people have already deciphered the rest; I’m pretty sure the city is “Mü——-burch”
I‘m thinking this might be Mühlburg which is part of Karlsruhe now; speculating of what we know. I cannot find anything indicating that this city was ever spelled ending on “burch”; it also became part of Karlsruhe in 1886, which is why that might not actually it. It is; however; my best guess after looking at the lists of german cities and former cities on Wikipedia
