What was the basis for this bodywork (this should be the simple part) and who designed it?

Good idea, because you can't see it from the front. But the puzzle trolley doesn't come from Brazil.

So it is a German DKW 3=6 Universal resp. an Auto Union 1000 Universal (hard to tell the difference from behind) with an unusual tailgate. Done by a German designer?

Yes it is a DKW Universal, built by a German coachbuilder. Locked for three attempts to name it.

Please be patient, I'm in Sweden right now, far away from my books. So an appropriate answer will take a little more than a week.

No problem. Do you have warm clothes with you?

For sure, but it is not that bad, mostly between 1 and 8°C, but the wind can get nasty. 🥶

I'm quite sure I've seen it before, but I can't trace it back. Was it a well-known coachbuilder?

The coachbuilder is well known for its focus. I can already see your gesture when the solution becomes known:  :doh:

No. Wrong customers. Customers have a different focus.

No, not Westfalia. But alphabetically speaking, you're pretty damn close... So here's another attempt.

No, sorry but unlocked.
The main customer base of the coachbuilder you are looking for is diametrically opposed to that of your first two attempts.

You've made it! It's a DKW Universal, modified by Joh. Welsch in Mayen.
