Hi,
I ahve this camera in which lens plate look glued to the front frame...
It does not sound right to me.

That seems pretty odd to me: communities like this one should be to have communication...

Thank you

Sorry, I mixed things up.
What I had in mind was the Primarflex II, a more modern 6x6 roll-film camera from Meyer. Kind of predecessor to the Hasselblad.

If this is like other 'Primar-' named cameras, it was made by Bentzin. Gorlitz is the location of the lens maker, Hugo Meyer, as Wetzlar was/is the location of Leitz (I could be wrong, flame me if you must).
