That is incredible, I assume the car was not driven like that?
From memory that is a roller bearing that was readily available for my Packards of the 1920's - although different models to yours

I have nearly always been able to buy new bearings from local bearing suppliers here in Australia. I would simply take in the old bearings or the dimensions and if they did not have them in stock they would order them in. With very few exceptions, the bearings in the transmission , rear axle, wheel bearings etc are standard bearings still available.

I would expect you would have similar suppliers in Germany.
