Volkhart, jammed camera, eh? 
You tried the following (yes?):
1) New batteries.
2) Moving shutter speed dial to 'B'.
3) Moving switch to 'Reset'.

Only one other notion. I owned a -2n in which one of the shutter
curtains jumped its track(?) and caused the shutter curtains to bind. It
required professional repair.
Take a close look at the shutter curtains.
Are the edges of the shutter curtain(s) visible?
If so are the edges of the shutter curtain running straight or are they
skewed? Does the curtain material show any buckling?
That's as far as my thinking takes me, without ingesting a lot more
caffiene.
