It is a redoubled "Mozart caret" (wedge staccato). I have seen this before in other works up to the middle of the 19th c. , and also examples with more than two strokes--up to six, in at least one case.
Normally, it would mean to play two staccato sixteenths in place of the notated 8th. Coming out of a tie like that, though, I'm not so sure. It looks to me as if Graupner was just writing hastily and indicating that the first *two* notes of each tuplet were to be played staccato. This would certainly fit the musical sense of the passage.
