German bottom bracket
Hi all!
I have a German city bike, named Excellent. I don't know what kind of bottom bracket cup (the fixed one) it has.
Does anybody know something about German bottom bracket (fixed) cups, whether they have left- or right-hand threaded (fixed) cups?
Thank you for answering

Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!
Is there anything engraved on the cups themselves? English/ISO should say something like 1.37"x24tpi.
If I had to guess I expect it's English threaded as nearly everything is these days. If so, the drive-side (fixed) cup is left-hand threaded.
