I thought Henschell was from Berlin...unless you mean Potsdam, that is South of Charlottenburg.

I thought Henschel was from Kassel, but that may only have been the train factories...

LOCKED for you!

Do you have one or two details and a reasonable year for me?

It doesn't look too much different from the 1901 Maurer-Union (middle picture below). Ludwig Maurer built his first prototype in 1898. Like all his cars it had a friction drive. In 1900 he started manufacturing the Maurer-Union.

O.K., now we have the riction drive as the significant technical feature.

But what´s so special about the puzzle car?

1901 is wrong, by the way.

Although it looks a little bit different on my picture I'll try and guess that it is the 1898 prototype.

Exactly!

It is the very first prototype of his friction drive from 1897.
