Don't give up! The company still exists in Solingen, but unfortunately they don't tell anything about their history (founded in 1900) on their homepage.

Is the company still in the coachbuilding business?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Yes, but it seems as if they concentrate on repair nowadays.

And we have a winner, after more than half a year!

This hearse was built by Gebr. Eickhoff from Solingen, using an Opel Blitz chassis and some design elements from an Opel Olympia.
