Maico Champion? Maybe a race special?

As I can't find it in "our" source it will be a hard nut to crack, I'm afraid...

Yes, it was featured in a period magazine - but I know that sooner or later someone will find it :)

Pure incidence- but I´ve found it in "Rollerei und Mobil" issue 7/56:

it is a selfbuilt little sports machine that first had a 350ccm MAG engine and later a 12.5 PS 400 ccm Ilo WEGR 2/200 engine.
Parts were used from BMW Dixi, Opel kadett, Opel Olympia, Lloyd etc...

The builder was a certain Mr. Schirdewahn who drove this little thing at various events:

I like the "Eigenbau" badge! :D

Seems this car was built somewhere in "Niedersachsen" (BN = Lower Saxony)

A (small) picture.
Apparently it's called the ESD1, but maybe it only became that after the ESD2 appeared..

Here´s the chassis:
I think that picture shows in fact the chassis of the Böning Eigenbau (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2012-41/solved-allemano's-8470-776-boning-eigenbau) with the ILO engine in front of the right rear wheel. Looking at the picture of the engine compartment of the Schirdewahn Eigenbau in reply #21 I'd say the picture below shows the Schirdewahn chassis:

The Schirdewahn Eigenbau during construction, probably at the coachbuilder Rudy, and a picture of the Schirdewahn Eigenbau together with the Böning Eigenbau:
