SOLVED: si_490 - Daimler-Benz - 4 cyl boxer disc rotary valve - 1958

Here is another exceptional engine.
With which manufacturer was it developed? How many cylinders and how were they arranged? What was the special design feature? When did development begin?
Edit: In this photo, the engine is partially disassembled.

Yes, it was built by Daimler-Benz. Blocked for five attempts to describe the unit in more detail.

Sorry, please unlock. I would like to leave the puzzle-solution to other players. I am focused on much more important things in life. Have hardly any interest or time for AutoPuzzles activities. Sorry, once more  ;)
