Can you identify the workshop and the brand of the car, which is being produced there? If you tell me the correct answer, I give you a point!

Experts?

Professionals?

German?

Since there is an orangutan lurking in the engine compartment of the vehicle on the left, I'm guessing this is an early iteration of the Piaggio Ape

Don't have my books around me, so a wild guess: Koco?

Not a Koco

One of the workers seems to wear clogs. Was the company settled in then north-west part of Germany?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #12 on:** March 28, 2011, 08:11:49 AM »

Nope.

Is the place where this factory was located still on German territory today?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #14 on:** March 28, 2011, 08:21:44 AM »

Absolutely
