Hi, Nadja0309. :-)
That number on the pillar plate apparently is the model number.
Unfortunately, the International Sewing Machine Collectors' Society's website doesn't have any records for the Singer industrial model 7H501:
http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/model-list/classes-1-99.html
A search using "7H501" as the sole criterion produced more than a couple of hits, but most of them are in Danish.
There are no pictures on this one, but text on this one seems to translate decently (apparently, they found one made in France in 1915):

Here's one in Polish with good pictures (but the text translates poorly):

There are more out there if you search for "7H501."
By the way, Nadja0309, it looks to be as though at the bottom of your second picture, there is what looks like a serial number 'cartouche', e.g.:
https://www.singermachines.co.uk/pub/media/upload/image/model_5.jpg
Unfortunately, it's half cut off. I see the whole cartouche in the first picture, but I can't read the number because it's not a close-up.
If you could take a close-up picture of the cartouche, then edit your post, and add it, I might be able to give you a bit more information about your machine.
Thank you very much for your comments. Shame on me for not realizing that there is indeed a model number imprint (and not even hidden, but right in front of me;).
Nadja0309, You're welcome. :-)
No worries, I miss things myself all the time. };-)
I suspected that it was a model number simply because of the placement of the plate containing it on the body of what is clearly an industrial model Singer sewing machine.
Why there are no records of it at ISMACS, I don't know, but at least there are a couple of listings on the Internet with pictures.
If you could take a picture of the little bronze-colored serial number 'cartouche' below that model number plate, and add it to your post, I'd appreciate it.
