What are the initias on the wing? There was nothing inside the camera?
the initials are FK
nothing at all inside or outside.i double checked it!
camera is made of metal,black mat painted.
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.
here are some more pictures from the back of the camera!
there is a FSU camera FK but it is a large format folding camera.
