It is Durlach.
Now Durlach is a part of city Karlsruhe in Baden (Baden-Württemberg), but about the time, the spoon was maked, Karlsruhe was foundet.
I have looked in the church books and find two makers in Durlach: Ernst Croll (sen.) and Ernst Croll (jun.).
The spoon is from first quater of 18th century.

Have You better images of the marks?

One has to do it. If there are again interesting hallmarks from Germany, let me know ;-)


About the age of the spoon,
I think it is about from 1725-1750.

This mark is on a chalice with engraving from 1713.

You can see an other variation of hallmark.
The makersmark is equal but earlier.
