I have an old cast iron stove that has been setting in an old building for many years. I want to know the approximate value of before I try to sell it. If anyone is familiar with it or knows where I can get any help it will be greatly appreciated.

Its a pretty basic design, not very useful as an actual woodstove. Maybe local interest. I see many similar models used for planters.
 
Sounds like a good German maker based on the name. But honestly this looks like a stove I'd sell for $25. I don't mean to be harsh so please do not take it that way. I know nothing about stove values so my opinion is all this is. Someone, hopefully will come on here and tell us how it's the holy grail of stoves and it's worth thousands! But to me it looks like a very basic design stove.
 
I would do some research in multiple locations. This stove is probably from the late 1800's. (Inspect carefully and look for a casting mold date) Wire brushed, cleaned up and stove black polished it could bring a nice bit of change. I wouldn't be surprised to see it going for $300 fixed up as long as the castings are still sound and without flaws or cracks.

Yes, box stoves of this design were popular. That one appears to be missing air control and legs?
