That aircraft is interesting as it was designed by Erich Gammelin. He was a successfull production manager at Dietrich- and Raab-Katzenstein-facility in Cassel and Crefeld during the 20s and he continued to work with Antonius Raab until 1932. When both separated from each other, Gammelin became technical director of S.F.I. in 1934. Initiallx I expected, that the S.F.I. Ga.1 was some kind of further development of the RaKa RK9 Grasmücke, however, Kens picture shows a completely different design.

By the way, Gammelin left S.F.I in Feb. 1935. The company was dissolved in 1937.

... not quite, sorry.
The Industriewerke Heiligenbeil GmbH were a subsidiary of the Schichau-Werke Elbing (mainly known for their shipyrads, but also busy in the field of locomotives, and other "heavy metal"), and worked as a repair shop for aircraft and aviation engines. So, the staff their had to have a profound knowledge of aviation matters, nevertheless, I didn't find any indigenous aircraft design.
This photo is described as "flying models from the apprentices' training workshop", so certainly NOT representing any true aircraft design, though they are decorated with iron crosses. ;)

Indeed: Building model aeroplanes (and other models) was part of the apprenticeship training. But very interesting nevertheless.
