This will be right at home among other ad vehicles, but before it is placed there, please identify its chassis (easy) and coachbuilder (super-difficult :)). A point is waiting for you!
Experts?
Opel?
yes, that was the easy part
In pedagogy, the phrase "from light to heavy" applies. So it gets a little harder: Opel 4/20 PS?
the model was not specified, but it was either a 4/20 PS or a 1.2-litre - this photo is from the very early 1930s.
Well, then all that's missing is the coachbuilder ;-) How about Assmann?
Not assmann
A coachbuilder which was not mentioned on AP before and Google has 3 hits when I enter the name :) :)
I'd say your best bet is to figure out where it was located, match it with the time frame and then maybe you can find it!
Good luck :)!
German coachbuilder?
at that time the city where the company resided belonged to Germany
East Germany?
no
South Germany?
sort of
Bavaria?
no, please study my replies carefully
Is the city located in the Czech Republic today?
no, but you are on the right track
Poland?
yes
Wrozlaw?
no
Martin Janneck, Karosseriebau, Liegnitz (Legnica)?

Not them, but from Liegnitz
Locked for you for 3 attempts
Seehausen & Staar?
no
Schöbel?
no
Can you find the puzzle picture on the internet or is it a scan from your library?
Was the coachbuilder still active in 1939? If so, I have an idea.
In the '39 address book of Liegnitz, the advertiser advertises on the pages and the Opel dealer at the bottom of the centre column could have been the supplier of our base vehicle...
Very good source you found
Unfortunately we are talking about a short-lived company, so it's not the Opel dealer
And the picture was taken in a library, it is not available online
From the information you gathered so far and with just a little ingenuity, it is possible to find the name of the company via Google.
Still locked
Carl Jannek, Wagenfabrik, Steinweg 28.
no, not by them. One last try before I unlock
Please be patient, we are away until Monday.
sure
Krumbholz.
If this is not correct, I have a request: Can you tell me the first letter of the company we are looking for? My source only consists of an alphabetical list of names over 700 pages, not sorted by trade. Otherwise I'll be looking until Christmas...
because you are overthinking it and don't use Google as I suggested :)
It's not Krumbholz. The name starts with an H
Good luck
Thanks for the help, unfortunately google only helped to a limited extent. I must have chosen the wrong keywords.
okay, let others have their chance. Unlocked and moved upwards
Schlesienwerk?
no
Adolf Hoffmann?
no
Simon Herrmann?
no, it is two words - one is about the natura of the business, the second is the name
How about this?
and you found it! Congratulations. It existed between 1928 and 1932
Thanks for the point. It was difficult to find but the search was interesting. The alphabetical directory only listed Hannemann, Karl, Fabrikbesitzer (Factory owner), Goldb. Str. 109/119.
