This is a Voigtländer Superb, a twin lens reflex camera made by Voigtländer AG Braunschweig between the years of 1933 and 1939. The Superb was Voigtländer's first and what would end up being the company's only true TLR camera they would ever make. It was designed to compete with the Franke & Heidecke Rolleiflex which was released in 1929. As they often did with their other cameras, the Superb took no design cues from it's competition, offering features such as automatic parallax correction, horizontal film transport, and a reflex mirror for viewing shutter speeds, that no other company had.

The Superb was a very well built camera and came with the company's best lenses like the Heliar or the Skopar. Despite its quality craftsmanship and excellent optics, it couldn't compete with the Rollei, and was discontinued shortly before WWII, never to be seen again.
