Yes, it is an Ostner Rex 4 from 1952. One point for you.

There is a connection to Framo as Ostner had to build Framos during WW II, when the "Schell-Plan" forced automobile manufacturers to produce only certain types of vehicles.

And another assistant for our fire fighters.
One point for the manufacturer, for the type designations of the vehicle and the body, as well as the year of construction.

Year appears to be 1952. Kleinlöschfahrzeug (KLF) 8. Regarding the fire brigade, my German is pretty bad but how about Jugendfeuerwehr Lauenberg?

Yes it is a KLF 8, based on a Ostner Rex 4 from 1952. I do not know the details of the history of this vehicle. Here is your next point.
