Emily,
I thought that the most common old german type font was called
Gotisch and that Fraktur and Schwabacher (Textur) were contemporary
fonts. Gotisch is closest to the font created by Gutenberg for his
first bible. Bear in mind I am neither a typographer nor an
historical printing scholar. Just some thoughts.
I suppose it depends on how you define contemporary.
