I found this firm on a quite affordable site, Kowex Fahrzeugbau, Heilbronn...as it is not the right one, I guess Wankmiller from Heilbronn too...as  I suppose Drauz did also cars.

Not Drauz.

The coachbuilder we are looking for is not from Heilbronn.

Sorry, I mixed something up. The coachbuilder in question is in a town almost 200 km south of Heilbronn.
The reason I got this wrong is that there is a village of the same name which is part of the city of Heilbronn, so Google Maps told me that it is just 10 km away.

A rather well known builder but they did several vehicles on this chassis.
Ackermann?

No, although the company in question also built some motorhomes.
