It looks like a genuine cancel, but probably too clean to be postal usage. Likely a favor cancel.
Here are some genuine postal usages:
BTW, the -9 in the "date" of your cover is actually the hour. The cover above was cancelled on March 16, 1946 at 1600 hours.

The cleanpostmark intrigued me and also HAMBURG positioned asymmetrically. Or maybe she wrote something else before.

I still have some stamps in the same series with clean postmark but whose quota increase would not justify the application of a favour cancel.
Applying of a favour cancel decreases catalogue quote?

The Hamburg postmark has probably shown a "postcode" (the number of the delivery region, rather) in front of the place name, i.e. (24) HAMBURG 1, hence the asymmetry. See also the Oberhausen cancel on the letter shown above.
The last four postmarks look fairly normal to me, only the Braunschweig one *might* be a favor cancel, but again, bullseye cancels are not uncommon.

Judging from the catalog value of the 1 RM stamp, an expert's opinion certainly cannot hurt.
