SOLVED: si_358 - Büssing - 650 TU - by Waggonfabrik Uerdingen - 1936

[sichel]

Now that's an extraordinaires design!
Which coachbuilder designed it? On what basis (manufacturer and type) and when?
There is a point for the correct answer and a "sichel-bee" for the place where this picture was taken.

[sichel]

Up to Experts.

[marmer]

Büssing?

[sichel]

Yes.

[marmer]

Is this a 1935-ish Büssing-NAG Trambus designed by Paul Arendt?

[sichel]

The chassis is based on developments by Paul Arendt, but I don't know of any connection to the coachbuilder I'm looking for. Besides, the year of construction was later.

[marmer]

Getting closer.  Büssing-NAG 650 TU 1937 from ÜSTRA Hannover.  Working on coachbuilder.

[sichel]

Yes, it is a 650 TU, but the year of manufacture still needs adjustment....

[marmer]

Are you looking for a pre-war date?  Because I found two different sources with pictures that have mid-1930s dates.

[sichel]

Yes, I am looking for a pre-war date.

[marmer]

1939?  And the body by Emmelmann?

[sichel]

Earlier and not from Emmelmann.

[marmer]

If it's not 1937 and it's not 1939, it must be 1938?  Kässbohrer?

[sichel]

Neither 1938 nor Kässbohrer.

[marmer]

1936?

[sichel]

Yes.

[marmer]

Komnick, from Elbling?

[sichel]

No

[marmer]

Coachbuilder from Hannover?

[sichel]

No, neither Hannover nor Lower Saxony.

[marmer]

Drauz?

[sichel]

No

[marmer]

Evels, from Münster?

[sichel]

[marmer]

Gaubschat?
