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

Is it some kind of attachment?

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.
