"Humans" in this case means specialist historians, but yes.

  100-year-old handwriting is probably not that obscure - it's not cuneiform or hieroglyphics. There are probably lots of people, especially older people, who could transcribe it. Finding them would be the issue.

    It’s not obscure, but it’s like a doctor’s handwriting. It takes a lot of effort if possible at all for me

  There are many many Germans alive who learned Sütterlin and similar scripts in school and used them for decades. It‘s not exactly Linear B. Even I (below 45) read some small Sütterlin texts in school (mostly German or history books). Not fluent, but you can quite quickly get used to it and decipher things slowly.

  For 100 year old German handwriting the historian I'd consult would by my grandmother. :)
