ᐅ Connecting an LED ceiling light – multiple wires hanging from the ceiling

Hello
I need some help again.
After decades without a ceiling light, I have now bought an LED ceiling fixture (metal and plastic).
This can be turned on and off or dimmed using a remote control.
The original light switch is probably no longer needed.
But now my question.
The building was constructed in 1963. Several cables are hanging from the ceiling. 😳 I don’t know which ones need to be connected to the fixture.
I’m attaching two photos for clarification.
Thank you in advance for any helpful answers.
Best regards
PS: Of course, I will switch off the circuit breaker beforehand 🙂

And I’ll repeat once more: If it’s a lamp with a metal housing and the old wiring described above, which has no separate grounding, there are situations where it’s not the lamp that lights up, but the person trying to screw in a light bulb.

A local doctor recently died after touching a live door in his practice, likely due to faulty work by an electrician during the connection. (One of the arriving firefighters also had to be resuscitated. Eight children behind a second live door were warned just in time!)
