How To Research Owner of WW1 German Helmet

I don't know where to ask this question on this forum so here goes.

Is it possible to research a German Army soldier from WW1? Did any records survive?

I have a WW1 German helmet with the soldiers name and unit written in pencil. It has faded over the years as you can expect.

Looks like (as was written):

                    Leutnant  ?? H. Sauer

                    Feld Art  ?  245 or 275  4 Batterie

 

I appreciate any advise or thoughts on this. My apologies if posted to the wrong section.

 

Thanks.

A Royal Saxon Feldartillerie Regiment 245 did exist. Could you please post a picture of the writing.
