Is this ergonomic workplace from an old Soviet sci-fi or an exhibition back in 1969?

The original post by Bernard_Hunor_Deak on r/cassettefuturism claims this is from an old Soviet sci-fi in the 1970s.
However, looking for a better quality version of the photo, I came across a blog entry referring to this one as a photo taken in 1969 in Hanover, Germany, where this futuristic desk was presented at an exhibition.
Either way, I like that the designer didn't stop at splitting the keyboard but also cut the desk in half. I like this even better than the Luigi Colani chair.
Built-in forearm support is cool but looking at that wrist extension due to the unnecessary slope hurts me.
(All in all, one more thing to add to the list of what made 1969 special: Woodstock, Moon landing, and now this desk too!)
