Oh, come on, you were so close with your first guess.

He was one candidate for the 1994 german Bundespräsident rally campaign, who shared the name with the builder of the car it it was not:

Brücher
Hirzel
Reich
Rennicke
Rinser

And he did not made it to the end for some infamous reasons

Well, we fortunately do not look for him here.

So this one is almost solved.

All I need is the correct year now.

LOCKED for you!

Perhaps if I'd Googled "Selbstgestrickter aus Hannover" instead of "Eigenbau" and everything else to do with self-building I could think of this one might have shown up...!

What does "Selbstgestrickter" mean?

The German verb 'stricken' means 'knitting', so it's a humorous term here for 'hand-knitted' ~ 'self-built'.
