As far as I know the camera was a design study and not a working prototype.
It was made at one of the Scandinavian universities at the time Hasselblad was thinking of a new design for digital capture.

Just came across a link to the history of Carl Zeiss optical industries.
From the early days through both World Wars to the reunited factories in east and west Germany.
Like other German factories Zeiss was an employer with excellent conditions for the people they employed.
Highly recommended.
