It may have been made as a private label for a sporting goods store by that name. There were several bike makers in Europe and Japan that would put any name on as long as you ordered enough units.

It looks to be built with Shimano 105 Golden Arrow. Nice stuff. Which indicates mid-level, if it's original.

Yeah that is a shop name and the address. The building is there but no bike shop. The Germans are notorious for the removal of old data online, nothing like here in the States where we digitally scrap book everything.
And no hits are returned to help when searching the german webs. Have any photos of the shield emblem above the shifter?

I'm thinking Japanese. Is there a serial number on the bottom of the BB shell?

Thanks for that. Still think it's a Japanese frame. Have a look at this thread. Same tubing, same serial number format. Not many answers, alas.
