Gewehrfabrik Danzing Mod 2 .22

Has anyone heard of this rifle that apparently was used as a training firearm by the German Army in WWI? It says WR 22L on the side. There is a lot of speculation as to what caliber it shoots and what "WR" stands for. Any ideas?

As I get older I find hitting a mini ram at 200 yards with the 22 oddly more satisfying.
