It is not allowed to pick flowers during the ride.

For one point, please respond and identify this vehicle and its builder.

I don't know, but I don't think so

Was it running on the island Rügen?

Wendax · « **Reply #10 on:** May 07, 2012, 01:21:13 PM »

No, rather at the other end of East Germany

Sachsen?

Built in Saxony, but in use somewhere else

Allemano · « **Reply #13 on:** May 07, 2012, 04:10:51 PM »

built by Fleischer?

Wendax · « **Reply #14 on:** May 07, 2012, 04:34:58 PM »

No, the builder is less known

Made by VEB Kraftverkehrinstandsetzung?

Wendax · « **Reply #16 on:** May 10, 2012, 02:18:10 AM »

It seems as if VEB Kraftverkehrinstandsetzung built the similar Barkas Express featured here before: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=19619.0
In fact, I just have a recent name of the company that built the puzzle car. Maybe the company was expropriated and turned into a "VEB Kraftverkehrinstandsetzung xxxx" as they were rebuilding truck cabins in the GDR, but they are not the one that built the above mentioned Barkas.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #17 on:** May 10, 2012, 02:50:41 AM »

So is this company still around with a different name?

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** May 10, 2012, 06:20:32 AM »

Yes and they have a picture of the puzzle car on their site

Allemano · « **Reply #19 on:** May 10, 2012, 08:06:10 AM »

That was tough!
It's a mini bus called the "~~Schwarza~~ Schwarzatal Express" in Schwarzburg Thüringen from the late sixties I guess. Still searching for the builder...

Allemano · « **Reply #20 on:** May 10, 2012, 08:29:50 AM »

The builder was a small coachbuilding company called "Autowolf Lichtenau". They do exist today.

Well done, Allemano! The fun is solving the tough ones, isn't it?

Another well-earned point for you. And thanks for the additional pictures.

The hardest part was to find a category for these kind of vehicles. "schienenlos", "gleislos", "touristenbus", "bus-zug", "parkzug", "parkbus", "mini-bus", "auto-mini-bus" etcetera pepe..
