You can ask to the company that developed the machine. They may have a backup of all their machines.

Usualy there is an EPROM module inserted (orange coloured) and if your battery is drained the system will lost only changable parameters of machine, not program. If the slot of EPROM is empty, then...., but it is not in German style to have a machine without EPROM, somebody stole it (sabotage).
