Mercedes O 3500, Maltesr-Hilfsdienst, ambulance or x-ray bus, built by Stolle, Hannover.

locked for you as the coachbuilder was not Stolle

I found a Stolle body with a similar four-window-windscreen. So, it might be a Kässbohrer body.

Is this the one and only coach based body, built by this company?
Title: Re: PN #1520
Post by: pnegyesi on February 07, 2021, 03:19:06 PM
while I am not very familiar with the company a quick Google search told me they existed until the early 1980s

For me, the current status is a little bit like reading in a glass ball. I would like to circle the solution by defining the German Region, the coachbuiler was located. I reduce the region to the former German Federal Republic. Let's start with Northern Germany (Schleswig Holstein, Hamburg, Bremen, Lower Saxony) Is it located there?

Let me give you a little clue. It won't help much, but a little :) It was located in Hesse

Title: Re: PN #1520
Post by: pnegyesi on February 14, 2021, 06:23:09 AM
so you need to find a place 54 km from Hanau and a coachbuilder there
Title: Re: PN #1520
Post by: sichel on February 14, 2021, 10:18:11 AM
54 km linear distance or by road  ;)
Title: Re: PN #1520

Google Maps said 54 km driving

??? Neuhof-Taunusstein is near Wiesbaden. You need to go the south of Wiesbaden

Schmidt Kommunalfahrzeuge, Groß Rohrheim

Post by: pnegyesi on February 14, 2021, 11:27:56 PM
You went too far, 30 km to the north, the name of the dwelling starts with Gross though. Still locked :)
Title: Re: PN #1520
Post by: sichel on February 15, 2021, 10:32:22 AM
May be this: "Press- und Stanzwerk Fagro", Groß-Gerau. They exits till beginning eightys of last century and among other things they built body parts for the automotive industry...
Title: Re: PN #1520
Post by: pnegyesi on February 15, 2021, 12:12:47 PM
You are in the right place! Look around and check out the local coachbuilders which existed there :) Now it is absolutely locked for you
Title: Re: PN #1520
Post by: sichel on February 15, 2021, 03:41:53 PM
Thank's, I'll go searching.

If Weiterstadt is not too far away, it might be a forerunner of REIMO. Currently they are active in the field of mobile homes, but perhaps in former times...
Title: Re: PN #1520
Post by: pnegyesi on February 16, 2021, 10:57:38 PM
you need to find a coachbuilder from Groß-Gerau. You have 2 more attempts
Title: Re: PN #1520
Post by: sichel on February 17, 2021, 04:52:11 AM
I feared so, and go on searching.
Title: Re: PN #1520
Post by: sichel on February 17, 2021, 05:21:40 AM
Next attempt: Karosseriewerk Krämer. It's a little bit obscure. They are still registerd in the commercial register, but there is no homepage, only a reference to leasing of buildings or properities. The former technical manager founded his own company in Goß-Gerau. I hope that the solution you are looking for.

And you can now rest a little bit with a point added to your tally :) :)!
