Good guess, but no.

For all out there: you might be thinking in the wrong dimensions...

I would call this a really sophisticated kind of miniaturization.

It featured a gasoline engine also.

It is tiny but it was not planned to be built in more than this one example.

It served a kind of a purpose so there is a small story to be told.

No.

It stems from the official Mercedes Benz archive...  :D

Maybe it is not a proper question, but do you have the Mercedes-Benz archive calling number? Then it'll be a piece of cake to solve it :)

Well - if this is the only way to solve it - try your luck :)

From the Mercedes archive:
"The car is an children's car "Reblaus II" of the Obertürkheim engineer Otto Lorenz. The vehicle was powered by a single-cylinder two-stroke engine KMS 33 with 0.75 hp / 0.55 kW power. It had two forward and reverse gears each. The maximum speed is given as 10.6 km / h. The vehicle was also externally controllable. View of the dashboard.with speedometer and Drehzahlmesser. The flexible hose contains the cables for the external control."

Equipped with this information, I found out that apparently it has survived and it was advertised on ebay, see picture attached
