was it built in a city with more than 100,000 inhabitants in the 1960s?

I don't have a year for it, and the city was smaller.

the question related to how many inhabitants lived there in the 1960s. I understand you know very little about the car :)

But it was built in a small city, right? So let's try to ID the city. Is the city renowned for any of its sights?

A small city, rather known for its surroundings than for the city itself.

Even the highest one has an elevation of less than 200 metres.  ;)

There are forests in Germany everywhere.  ;D
The surrounding landscape is related to forests, but known for the absence of them, mainly. (I hope this will puzzle you a bit.)

Finally found it!  It is a one-off built for an officer (British?) by the garage/shop Stellmacherei Wagen & Karosseriebau H.Blenck (Helmut Blenck) located in the town of Schneverdingen.
