It looks like a Tempo Matador, powered by a VW engine, from about 1956?

Yes, it is one of those (though I have it as from slightly earlier).
Locked for you to name the model-name and builder.

1951 Luxusbus is right, but not by Mifaka.

Have another go; still locked of course.

Sorry to intervene, but Vidal & Sohn was the company behind Tempo. So all Tempos since 1928 were made by Vidal & Sohn. The bodywork of the puzzle car was made by Mikafa (not Mifaka) which stood for Mindener  Karosserie-Fabrik. The standard Tempo Matador looked like this in 1950: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2007-35/puzzle-362-solved!-tempo-matador-50. Mikafa carried on building this coachwork mainly as camping cars, but also as buses, until the late 1950s, through all the changes of the technical Tempo base. The pictured Mikafa was built on the base of the first Matador with VW engine, recognizable at the VW hubcaps and the lack of horizontal chrome bars at the front. Those were featured on the Heinkel-engined Matador 1000 and 1400 which succeeded the VW-engined Matador in 1952 when VW stopped supplying engines to Tempo.

Hmmm.

Well, I was going to send a PM to Norman later today outlining essentially what Gerd has presented to us but Gerd beat me to it.

So, just a few more photos I got in my research including one at the Nutzfahrzeug-IAA exhibition in Hannover in 2010.
