Let's try again with a new puzzle from me.
Dear puzzlers, please provide the complete name of the below car. Or rather chassis/engine combination.
Oh yes, you can gain a point by doing so.
-
No gueses from the rookies... or from the experts...
-
No guesses, nothing. Ok, down the hole it goes.
-
American?
-
Unfortunately, it is not from the Americas.
-
German?
-
Indeed! It is from Germany!
-
Auto Union connected?
-
Radiator plus badge looks very DKW...
-

Not that I am aware off
-

No DKW either
-
I think the car is named after the town it is from.
-
Is it an Apollo from Apolda?
-
Unfortunately not.
-
Early 1920s?
-
I believe so.
-
Manufacturer existed for more than 10 years (to be more precise: made cars for more than 10 years?)
-
Short lived brand?
-
Manufacturer existed for more than 10 years (to be more precise: made cars for more than 10 years?)
Opps, too late.
Did they produce different models or just this one?

As far as I can make out: No.

6-cylinder, like the Badenia?

As far as I am aware: yes.
...I admit the question was not that clear...so they did produce other models.
Is the name the same name of the city (like Reissig) or derivated from it?

Then my answer is wrong. They only produced one model as far as I am aware.
I believe the car's name is derived from the city, but is not an exact match.
-

So not Gaggenau, but possibly NSU?
-
It could have been, but it isn't.
I believe this was there only product and I doubt if they made many.
-
Ok, a big clue (in my opinion).
The car's name starts with the letter I.
-
Ilse from Ilsenburg, Germany?
-
Ilse from Ilsenburg, Germany?
Where did you get that from? It's not complete yet.
Apparently you know more? I'd love to find out a bit more...
Locked for you for 24 hrs

I'll write more this evening, when I'm at home.

I've locked it for you.

Well, because of your clue, that the names of the car and the city, where it was built, are related, I already had figured out, that it could be Habag (from Hamburg), Ilse (from Ilsenburg) or Lipsia (from Leipzig), since Nowa (from Nowawes) looked different. But I didn't have any pictures of the other three on hand. But I can tell you what my one source tells about the Ilse:
In 1926, Hans Lorbach (former chief engineer of Phänomen) built the Ilse for the Fürst-Stolberg-Hütte (i.e. Count Stolberg Ironworks) in Ilsenburg near Wernigerode. The Fürst-Stolberg-Hütte was founded in 1530, built steam engines since 1833 and locomotives from 1924 to 1931. The Ilse had a 4-cylinder 2-stroke engine of 1100 cc capacity. That makes it a "6-PS-Wagen". There was never a series production.

Right you are!
I found the car in an advert. I wasn't looking for the car, but I thought I would google it, then I took some books and I found there was no info. Actually, the advert advertises the car as a 4/16 PS. It also states a different founding date (by a good margin as well, though the company website does show this date), but all the rest is true, so therefore you got the point.
The advert showed the chassis only, there was an Ilse logo and we can even find the name J. Lorbach (maybe he was baptised Johannes?), Fürst-Stolberg-Hütte, and the technical details of the motor.

Indeed!
