No. Perhaps you misunderstood my last answer (error in the translation programme??). At the time the puzzle vehicle was created, the company was not located in Stuttgart.

Oh, thank you very much. Yes, I misunderstood your previous answer about the Stuttgart-location of the coachbuilder

I think, the photo of the puzzle car must have been taken in the courtyard of Gottlob Auwärter senior's company, situated in Kaltentalerstraße 9, Stuttgart-Möhringen. Same workshop gates pictured at the attached photo.

The attached photo describes, that from 1937 on, coachwork had to be built up outside the workshop of the Auwärter OHG (Ernst und Paul Auwärter), because the interior was too small for it

Thank you for the interesting photo!
But who made the body of the puzzle vehicle?

Gottlob sr. early recognized the signs of the times and sent his son Gottlob jr. 1922 as a journeyman to 'Reutter-coachwork-company' in the west of Stuttgart. After his return in 1925, Gottlob jr. constructed his first delivery and flatbed trucks from used cars, together with his brother Otto in the father's workshop.

Thank you for the short history of the Auwärters. Btw: On 01.04.1942 Möhringen was incorporated into Stuttgart.
Yes, Gottlob jr. made this superstructure in the mid-20s. So it is your next point.
