So, is it solved?
Yes...If anyone can read and translate the text, I'd like to know more.
Point for you!

The builder's name is Kurt Schröder, and the car is called Hallore (without any accent), which denotes a historic worker from Halle cooking brine to obtain salt.
Is there anything more on that article? I recognize some words but can't translate it.  :-\

Apparently Schröder built 18 of this car + 5 in the pipeline (autumn 1954). It's mainly based on Wehrmacht-VW-Kübel chassis and parts. All bodies were handbuilt and the car was capable to run 120 km/h. Schröder built only the body, customers had to have their own old VW parts and engines to complete the car. Electric stuff was done by other (non named) companies.The name "Hallore" named after the city of "Halle" was coincidentally given by a client (goldsmith) who came in Schröder's workshop. The car had no name before.

By the time of the article, he had already built 15 minibuses also and was working on his first full size bus.
