Photos of Dürkopp cars from before the First World War are, for the most part, conspicuous by their absence. I'd guess 1905...

Yes, at least this picture was taken in 1904. According to the lettering the owner was Ernst Ibald from Oberhausen, a bicycle dealer. Have a look at the beautiful metalwork around the radiator!

Thanks for the puzzle and the point. The radiator grille is a real work of art.
