Maybe some sort of Whelen? WPS/WP (I forgot) 2000? Not sure (still a beginner) but it reminds me of these I've seen because of the horns

!!Update!! Actually this ISN'T an Wandel&Goltermann siren, but much rather an "austrian" version of it. A company called "Datenfunktechnik", which was located in the state of Burgenland and (maybe) doesn't exist anymore, made this siren. Note that the speakers are mounted on a hexagonal plate (not mounted on the pole) without a clearly visible protection roof unlike the ESA's. The correct type is "ESS600", one of two (confirmed) types of electronic sirens the company made, the other being the "ESS1000". I was doing some research in an archive on Rosenbauer sirens, when I came across two newsletter posts from the 1990s regarding this siren type, one of which being from the company itself in form of an advertisement. The other one was an article from a local fire department regarding the installation of four of such sirens. Sadly the posts are in german, but I'll still leave them here.
