Experts?

Germany?

I fail to understand the use of the apparatus at the back of the car.

Is it some kind of attachment?

If you realise what it is, then you can easily find the builder

AlexFrance · July 16, 2015, 05:56:18 PM

Is that some sort of an amphibious vehicle?

almost there, so I am not torturing you any longer. It was featured in one of the 1935 issues of Motor-Kritik. Another point for you

According to one source, he converted it from his DKW race car.

Yes, based on a 1932 DKW F2 chassis which Trippel used for his race car before converting it into his first amphibious car, called Land-Wasser-Zeppelin.
