Also this might be off topic for this community as this is a carbon steel pan (Merten & Storck).

Yes but carbon steel in this context refers to steels with moderate carbon content(under what you would find in cast iron) and no chromium that would make it stainless steel

Typical carbon steel alloy is about 1% carbon and rest iron, cast iron pans are >2.5% carbon and stainless steel has usually about 15% chromium and few percent of other metals aswell
