You're right, it's ridiculous to wait any longer.
I added two different spellings to the title and awarded another point to Wendax.

The designer/builder of this car is Friedrich Eugen Maier who lived and worked in Berlin. He had some patents on this design (already communicated with recent owner of the car).

The restored car was shown at Schloss Dyck Classic Days last weekend. You could even see it running!
Probably the Nazis deleted all records of this car as Eugen Maier was a Jew.

I'll post another feature of Schloss Dyck soon.

I changed the topic title to Maier instead of Mayer/Meier.

There is a nice article in Motor Klassik this month, and there is a website dedicated to the Leichtbau Maier (with hyphen and .de  ;) ) meanwhile. The car was originally equipped with the DKW engine in the rear, but was later modified to VW mechanics. The "1945 picture" showing it lying on its roof is from the 1970's, when it was used as a movie prop. Only this single prototype was built, and the chassis number LM 0501 / 35 probably refers to its date of completion. I'm looking forward to seeing it next year at the Prototyp museum in Hamburg.

It should be merged with this one: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=14070
