I understand that the founding family has left the company a long time ago, but they're still in business under the same name.
It appears that they don't built complete bodies anymore, though.

But they are still in the body repair / car painting business?

Absolutely. Alas nothing historical is on their current "website".  :-\

No.

a last clue: the place where the company was founded wasn't always a part of the city where it is resident today...

But I highly doubt the text under the photo that claims it to  use a 1934 Mercedes 290 chassis, to be honest!

In the text they say that in 1934 Köster had built an exclusive bus - which is much more likely the puzzle car on a 1920´s chassis like the 620S...
