It doesn't look particularly comfortable. But at least there is some weather protection.
Who built this vehicle? For what purpose? When was it?

Yes, it is a ABAM. Locked for you to answer the open questions.

In 1905, ABAM provided the Imperial Post Office in Cologne with two postal vehicles.

One source mentions 1904, another 1905, but that is not the problem, as there are often ambiguous statements from that time. ABAG supplied a truck and a bus, the puzzle vehicle. What was the purpose of the bus?

This picture is for transporting postmen. I'm guessing it's for transporting workers.

You are right, it was used to transport workers. In this case, to transport postmen to their district, hence the name , "Briefträger-Omnibus" that means: "postmen's omnibus".
Regarding the type of vehicles, my sources are not clear. In any case, there were probably two examples for the post office, either two buses or a truck and a bus...
Either way, this is your next point.
