SOLVED: si_685 - Skoda - 8TR - 1955-1961

He has certainly already achieved and suffered a lot.
Who was the manufacturer? What was the type designation? From when to when was it built?

I could be  totally mistaken, but it should be a Skoda 8TR with a Reko W 701 trailer,
in Potsdam (DDR)

You're 99% right! It's a Skoda 8TR with a W 701 as an appendage. However, the photo is not from Potsdam, but from Zwickau. But that's not what was asked. What is missing is the production period of the 8TR. You have three attempts at this. Locked for Hiawatha.

Production period of the 8TR was 1955 to 1961. 742 produced.
The ones in Zwickau were numbered 29 to 34. Zwickau operated from 1938 to 1977.

Apart from one point, there is nothing to add.
