Feuerlilie was the name of a series of rockets designed by the Germans in WW2 for research into high speed rockets with a view to future SAM development. Two examples were the F25 and F55, the number being the body diameter in centimetres.

Here's my F25, based on a scan of post-war Allied documents sent to me by Dan Johnson, author of the Luft46 page which was my original reference.

And here's my F55. The original was supposed to be powered by a single liquid-fuelled motor, but as that was not ready in time, the first flights were powered by a cluster of four solid-fuel motors. So is the model. :)
