Please tell me all you know about this vehicle: Builder? Where? When?
Extra point, if you identify the bike with a proof

This is August Paul's vehicle made in Munich in 1950. I'll have to look into the motorcycle

Yes, it is. One point more for you.
I will move this puzzle to the Masters. May anybody be able to identify the motorcycle with a proof?

I couldn't find absolutely definitive proof, but looking at this second photo of the machine, photos of various examples and this Triumph brochure, I'm reasonably confident that it's a Triumph STM 500 of 1936-38 vintage.
