What is this supposed to be?
For the solution, you only need to name the customer, the model designation, the technical basis, the coachbuilder and the date.
The experts are on it!
Swiss
No.
French ?
No.
USA
Get back on the plane and return.
German
Is this the front part of a rig for transporting bridge girders?
No, but it can help with bridge building.
Sorry Bill, yes it is from Germany.
mobile crane
Henschel based
Yes, this is supposed to be a mobile crane. Only some of the technology comes from Germany. The base is not from Henschel.
Do you mean that only what we see comes from Germany?
What we see comes partly from Germany, what is still missing is contributed from Germany.
Krupp
No, there's nothing from Krupp.
Hey Bill, where are your fresh ideas ;-)
Liebherr
No, it's a little more complicated than that.
Up to the Professionals.

Rosenkranz K200, Jaresch & Wegener, Bochum, 1950
Correct. The only thing missing now is the technical basis. Locked for you for three attempts.

Sorry, in order to avoid any misunderstandings before answering, I would like to clarify what the two answers you gave earlier mean:
I interpret your previous answers in such way, that foreign parts can be found on the puzzle picture, but these do not matter the answers you are looking for (= What we see comes partly from Germany, what is still missing is contributed from Germany).
Correct interpretation?
My answer #15 was misleading.
At that time, parts from Germany and abroad were missing. What is still missing after your answer (#23) comes from abroad.
Thanks for clarification :thumbsup:
Mack?
Yes, it's a Mack. The only question is which model?
NR-series?
Yes.
Ah, I see, you are waiting for a number?..
Usually it should be a Mack NR-14 (if not, only 19 numbers left ;))
Pictures attached of working Rosenkranz K200's
Yes, the base was a Mack NR 14.
Rosenkranz from Witten/Ruhr entered the heavy haulage sector in the course of post-war reconstruction. In this context, there was a shortage of truck and trailer cranes. So these were developed according to their own ideas and built in cooperation with companies from the region.
The K200 was one of the first and most powerful mobile cranes in Germany and four were built for Rosenkranz. See pictures one and two.
Mobile crane construction became a mainstay at Rosenkranz, culminating in 1971 with the K 10001, the strongest lattice boom mobile crane in the world with a lifting capacity of 1000 tons. It was involved in the construction of the Köhlbrand Bridge in Hamburg, among other things. See pictures three and four.
This was a small sideways glance at an area that is rarely represented here. I would like to keep it that way. But as you are probably interested in technology, this puzzle will hopefully meet with a positive response.

There is a book available about "Rosenkranz-company". Sadly it's not in my library
