also called Schmeidler-Neumann S.N.2 built at Technische Hochschule Breslau
 
For the record, that does not appear to be a "variable incidence wing" at all since the wing itself appears to be fixed in place. Rather it is a wing with large, retractable flaps. See the Supermarine Type 322 "Dumbo" for an example of a variable incidence wing.
 
Further to the above posts is this one from L'AérophileFebruary 1933 edition concerning the Schmeidler SN.2. L'Aérophile__bpt6k65535488.JPEG
