Here we are : "Future-oriented: Mercedes-Benz touring coach with streamlined body, presented at the 1935 International Motor Show in Berlin."  That's probably a LO3100.

It is indeed a Mercedes-Benz LO 3100 Schnellomnibus, built using Jaray patents. The IAA 1935 show bus featured front wheel covers as can be seen on the initial puzzle picture. The other picture shows the version in use by Deutsche Reichsbahn from summer 1935 on with uncovered front wheel arches.

Another picture from the IAA with two Krupp streamline buses in the background, of which the left one has been puzzled here, too (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2013-42/solved-wendax-1081-krupp-od-2-5-n-42-reisewagen-by-fahrzeugwerke-recklinghausen/).
