Assuming you are the attacker or spectator, an attack on the castled King is always enjoyable and that’s what this game offers. It was played in the 1929 Deutscher Schachbund (DSB) Kongress that was held in Duisberg, a city in western Germany, at the junction of the Rhine and Ruhr rivers. It's known for its large harbor.
The winner was the German Master Wilhelm Orbach (1894-1944). You won’t find much information on him, but Chessmetrics estimates hus best rating to have been 2548 back on 1921, placing him at #41 in the world. By comparison, a couple of better known players with similar ratings were Fritz Saemisch and Sir George Thomas. He was murdered in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
His opponent was Walther Holzhausen (1876-1935) who was known as a problem composer who published a couple of books on problems, as well as a player.
The chart giving the Accuracy and Blunder Categories as determined by Fritz 19’s Tactical Analysis gives some interesting insight as to how the game went. Clearly, it was not especially well played, but white’s final attack is entertaining. Unfortunately I have not been able to discover what determines how a move is categorized. Anybody have any thoughts?

D15: Slav Defense 1.d4 d5 2.f3 f6 3.c4 c6 4.c3 dxc4 5.e4 b5 6.c2 e6 7.e3 This B is normally developed to f4 or g5, but the text is hardly bad.
Another popular move is 7.a4 to challenge black on the Q-side. b4 8.e2
Black almost always waits until white plays a2 before making this exchange. xc3+ 9.bxc3 bd7 10.f4 Moving the B again is a waste of toime. Simply 10.
O-O was better. b7 11.0-0 c5 This gives black excellent play. 12.e5
This move is suspect; white needs tp keep things flexible in the center. 12.b2 Attacking the b-Pawn. Black emerges with a slight advantage after xe4 13.xc4 bxc4 14.xb7 xc3 15.fe1 0-0 Note that neother R can threaten the
N. 16.d6 c8 17.b2 d5 18.xf8 c3 19.b5 a6 20.c4 xf8 Black has
plenty of play for the exchange. 12...d5 13.g3 0-0 14.h4 f6 This
creates an almost imperceptible weakness in the K's position. The active 14...
Qb6 was in order. 15.ab1 This is another small inaccuracy. 15.exf6 7xf6 15...gxf6 16.fb1 c6 17.a4 and white has equalized. 16.g3 Prevents .
..Nf4 c8 17.a4 b4 18.xc4 bxc3 19.fd1 e7 with the more active position,
but white's position remains quite solid. 15...c6 He could take advantage
of white's omission last move with 15.g4 because white is in no position to
take advantage of the weakness that ...g4 creates. 15...g5 16.g3 f5
leaves whiyr at a loss for a really good continuation. 16.dxc5 xc5 17.exf6 gxf6 18.d4 e8 The threat is ...Bg6. 19.d2 e4 A piece with a promising
future, but things will go wrong. 20.h6 This move is not as aggressive as
it looks, but practically speaking it's better than the defensive 20.Qe1
because it baits a trap which black falls for. 20.e1 exc3 20...dxc3 21.xe6 equalizes 21.xe6 equals 20...exc3 This is the wrong N because
it allows white's next move. 21.g4 White has a promising
counterattack. c7 This is a game losing blunder! 21...xb1
allows a mate in 22.xe6+ f7 23.f5 h8 24.xf7 xf7 25.g7# 21...g6 is correct as it avoids the mate. 22.be1 b6 23.xe6+ h8 24.e2 xe2+ 25.xe2 In Shootouts from this position white scored +1 -0 =4 22.xe6 e7 23.xc7 Much stronger than taking the R. 23.xf8 xf8 24.f4 24.xf8+ xf8 with equal chances. 25.bc1 24...xb1 25.xc7 Even here
though white should win. 23...g6 23...xc7 24.e6+ f7 25.xf6 xe6 26.g5+ f7 27.g7+ e8 28.xc7 xf6 29.c6+ and wins 24.xa8 xb1 25.c7 xc7 26.e6+ f7 26...f7 just delays the mate. 27.xf6 xe6 28.g5+ f7 29.g7+ e8 30.xc7 d7 31.e1+ f7 32.xd7+ xf6 33.e6+ g5 34.g7+ f4 35.g3+ f5 36.e5# 27.xf6 Black resigned.
