A smooth design.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and its coachbuilder.

Does the right answer "DKW" include "IFA" (East Germay)?

To me it looks like an IFA F9, predessesor of the Wartburg. The Wartburg 311 estate looks very similar from the rear (especially the form of the rear window).

No, this is a DKW, not an IFA.

Are they primarily a coach builder for private personal vehicles?

No, they specialize in commercial vehicles, mainly truck coachbuilding.

Thanks for the hint.
I found it!
Its from the Niermann Karosserien.
No information on their web site but this DKW Estate Wagon is shown in their history gallery.
By the looks of the pictures on their web site I'd guess its an early 50's maybe as late as 53.
