With your other baumaschinen puzzle, I suspected Robuster early on, but then eliminated it as an option for some unknown reason. I revisited it later and it turned out to be correct. Similarly, I suspected WILHAG early on with this puzzle, but then eliminated it for some reason which I can no longer remember. Hoping for a similar result... WILHAG?

By the way, the truck chassis appears to be a Kaelble KDV 680BF (ca. 1959). Compare with these examples (with and without WILHAG Type UA 832 crane). The chassis details/angle/lighting/etc on the first photograph is such a precise match for the puzzle image, that the artist must have based the image on this photo.

1) Yes, it is a Wilhag (which stood for its founder's name Wilhelm Hagenkamp). One point for that.
2) I found this picture just labeled as Wilhag and I went through my book shelf and found a book about excavators where two similar looking Wilhag truck-based excavators were pictured, with "Wilhag" logo at the radiator and a caption that those chassis were built by Wilhag themselves. But you certainly are right with your Kaelble identification and there were quite a lot Wilhag cranes on Kaelble chassis. So there is another point for you. Well done!

So my reply number 15 was correct.. It is indeed a Kaelble.

Sorry, I didn't know by then. It was the Wilhag name I was after.
