Possibly for the kitchen, like a light tgat ypu could mount under the cupoards or for a vent

Nope. It's nowhere near the kitchen, and my place isn't that sophisticated. It's in the living room in the same vicinity as the switches for that and two lights in the garage. I thought it might be for something in the garage, but I haven't found anything that it affects in there.

I'm starting to enjoy this guessing game we've got going.

That was my guess because the flat I live in (80s East German) has one just like that.

Living room could mean that there was the idea of a light for a dining table. Otherwise a power socket outside, on the terrace for example or an outside light? Garage door opener maybe?

If you really want to find out, I think you'll need to "play" around with your safety box and that particular switch
