Is it a Formula Libre car?

I don´t think you could say that.

VW wheels and front suspension, so based on a Beetle?

Could it be a home-built VW-based race car, driven in 1949 by Scholz (or Schulz)?

[grobmotorix]

It was used at races in 1949 and 1950.

Only I have another (quite known) name...

I guess I didn't recognize it due to the lacking circular headlight covers at the front.
