Flocken?

It was built by a quite known brand.

Not Henschel, then.

No, go south...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #9 on:** January 04, 2014, 07:49:28 AM »

From Dresden?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2014, 08:06:03 AM »

South, not east...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #11 on:** January 04, 2014, 08:27:57 AM »

I thought Henschell was from Berlin...unless you mean Potsdam, that is South of Charlottenburg.

I thought Henschel was from Kassel, but that may only have been the train factories...

Adler?

Leave Frankfurt behind you and go farther.

NSU related?

Wrong german state.

Maurer?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #21 on:** January 04, 2014, 10:07:32 AM »

LOCKED for you!

Do you have one or two details and a reasonable year for me?

Wendax · « **Reply #22 on:** January 04, 2014, 10:14:09 AM »

It doesn't look too much different from the 1901 Maurer-Union (middle picture below). Ludwig Maurer built his first prototype in 1898. Like all his cars it had a friction drive. In 1900 he started manufacturing the Maurer-Union.

O.K., now we have the riction drive as the significant technical feature.

But what´s so special about the puzzle car?

1901 is wrong, by the way.

Wendax · « **Reply #24 on:** January 04, 2014, 02:37:22 PM »

Although it looks a little bit different on my picture I'll try and guess that it is the 1898 prototype.
