Pz-38(t) and its offsprings - Hetzer among them . Swiss used it AFAIK to the 70-s , and Swedish m42 light tank at least to the 60-s . Ironically the best of all much touted german panzers was actually of Czech origin . Not the best as tank of course , but as chassis .
your question .If i only was so smart yesterday as my wife is today

Longest serving pure German design was the Stug III which remained in Finnish service until 1966. Or the Mk IV and V which was still in Austrian service as border emplaced strong points into the 1980's IIRC.
