Nice typeface in the Berlin Zoo

I went to Berlin for a short vacation. At the same time I went hunting for typefaces and in the Zoo I saw this one. It looks a bit Art Nouveau and I have the distinct impression I have seen this one (or a good lookalike) somewhere before.
Websites like www.myfonts.com don't know this font and in my old catalogues I cannot find it either. So... If anyone has a bright idea? I'd really love to hear it!

Hi Richard, better late than never: this is based on Tip-Top, a typeface first cast in 1902 by the Klinkhardt foundry in Leipzig:
