Apart from the coachbuilder, everything is correct. But I'm not sure if it's a four-seater. Locked for you.

The Audi Gläser glass may be similar, but it is not.
Take a look at the side ventilation grilles on the hood and the top edge of the door.

Seeger has the same arrangement of air vents in the bonnet. Seeger?

Yes! This body was built by Seegers from Leipzig in 1931. This is your next point.

The very well known coachbuilder’s site has this as Hornig Audi Zwickau Sport-Cabriolet, 1931

My source is a book by two experts on the history of automobiles in East Germany and Berlin.

I tend to agree with hermanoto and ropat53. The photo setting and background are typical for Hornig and even the VEB Karosseriebau Meerane from cca 1925 well into the 1950s.

The forest in Seegers' advertising pictures really looks different.
Then my source was probably mistaken here. I'll change the titlel and ropat53 will of course also get a point.
