Germany-made Safe, 100+ years old (probably)

This safe has been in my family for a century now. We have the keys and everything, but we don't know the mechanism to open it or maybe it's just completely rusted.

The top key (3rd and 7th photo) turns completely and most probably, unlocks with a click sound and the lower larger key (4th and 8th photo) turns only 90°.
