It might be a sauerkraut dispenser, but I don't think it is.

We need a closeup of the label there, Robert.

It's a passive through-the-wall intake vent for the whole house air change systems. Pull the string once and it pops out from the wall about a quarter of an inch and allows air in from outside, Pull the string again and it pops closed.

I find it verrry interesting that Herr Jones could recognize the German words, but not the English.
