Looks like a cross between a Goliath and a Sabra Sport.  Does it have some Goliath/Hansa bits?

Does this have anything to do with a Maserati 3500 GT?

The car was built in 1959. There are VW parts in it, but it was not built on a VW chassis. It was built in Kaiserslautern, but not at the Karosseriebaufachschule. The name of the builder is known. Locked for you to find the correct answer.

Benno Kleinau, owner of a body repair shop in Kaiserslautern.  This is a "Sports-Limousine" on a Citroen chassis with a VW engine, from 1959.  That was hard!  Didn't help that the Meisterschule has it in their online gallery!
