Was the picture taken at a big city like Munich?
It was a big city, but not Munich.

The original source was in German and appears to have been either a newspaper or magazine from around that time.

No. I have only one name connected with this vehicle (the builder) and it is not Walter Janach.

I just stumbled across another short article about this vehicle while conducting an online search for something completely unrelated. The answer is out there!

I don't think so. It just appears to be moving along with regular traffic.

New information indicates that this vehicle was built by an individual student as a project for school.

May I lend you a helping hand and put some sense in your Google translate gibberish?

Traugott Vobbe's masterpiece

This "pedal car" of slightly aerodynamic design was the work piece with which Traugott Vobbe from Berlin passed his master's examination. It is based on two bicycles connected side by side, on which a polyester hood was attached as weather protection.
