Büssing 5000 T, body by Gaubschat, Berlin.

Only Büssing is correct!

sichel · « **Reply #3 on:** March 10, 2021, 06:08:56 PM »

Then it can really only be a TU. The headlights looked like Gaubschat design. Now I have to keep looking.

Body by Kässbohrer.

fromwien · « **Reply #5 on:** March 11, 2021, 06:14:42 AM »

Not a TU, not Kässbohrer

sichel · « **Reply #6 on:** March 11, 2021, 06:45:01 AM »

5000 TU, Emmelmann.

fromwien · « **Reply #7 on:** March 11, 2021, 05:17:55 PM »

Not 5000 TU, not Emmelmann.

So, I think only the TU 5 remains. Coachbuilder: Ludewig, Essen. First coachbuilder on behalf of Büssing after World War II.

Sorry, I have to disappoint you... It isn't a TU5, and not from Ludewig

sichel · « **Reply #10 on:** March 11, 2021, 05:58:10 PM »

Very tricky!! Distance between front-axle and bumper looks like "Unterflurmotor", "Underfloor motor". Wheelbase indicates maximum 5000 kg useful mass???

fromwien · « **Reply #11 on:** March 13, 2021, 04:36:36 AM »

Kerb weight: 8.520 kg
Maximum total weight: 13.200 kg

Thank you, I'll go on searching...

sichel · « **Reply #13 on:** March 13, 2021, 10:46:32 AM »

So, it will be a 6000 T, even if the weights do not match to the kilo. Now, I'll where to find right coachbuilder.

fromwien · « **Reply #14 on:** March 13, 2021, 11:46:53 AM »

Not 6000T

sichel · « **Reply #15 on:** March 13, 2021, 12:38:22 PM »

6500 T. I begin to despair...

fromwien · « **Reply #16 on:** March 13, 2021, 12:50:01 PM »

Not 6500T... Stay cool, please

sichel · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2021, 09:42:34 AM »

Thanks, what lasts a long time finally becomes good.

I think, this puzzle wasn't easy to crack... Congratulation!
