I keep scraping up obscure coach builders in Lower Saxony, one at a time, so perhaps, one of these days, I will get a hit.  This time let's try:Karosseriewerk Wille, Fleestedt über Hamburg (Seevetal).

Not Wille.
One hint: the coachbuilder in question wasn't mentioned at AutoPuzzles before.

Well, even though I don't think that they ever produced bus bodies, I can't just ignore probably the best known coachbuilder in lower Saxony.  Am I correct in assuming that it isn't Karmann?

Neither Graaff nor Esselmann.

Most likely no connection with the Henschel Bimot.

Wow, a correct answer with a surprising picture unknown to me so far.
Yes, Drettmann from Osterholz-Scharmbeck is the company in question. A well-earned point for you.
