I couldn't find it here: http://www.boxcameras.com/ on a quick look round

But a deeper search may find something, maybe they can help.

Can you tell something about the film/plate-format or show some photos of the other side/inside the camera. There was a german maker Fritz Kaftanski who made a "Schüler-Box" in 1929, but this was for plates.

Indeed some similarities in design to some of the Kaftanski cameras.
