German?
Yes
Built in the late 1940s?
The pictures are a bit younger, so I guess the car is too.
Was Heinz Lindermann involved ?
No
Looks very quiet on AP today. Maybe I've got time to get there by using questions.
It's a small car. VW engine?
Yes, VW-engined
East German?
Geographically yes, politically no
Franz Bumke ?
Well done! It is Franz Bumke's VW Spezial:
It was purely a guess, based on your clue that the photo was taken in the '50s. The number of VW specials was a lot less by that date, since Porsches were available by then and a lot more competitive.
A lucky point.
