-
did the coachbuilder appear in the book, Deutsches Autos 1920-1945?

No, but it is not obscure.
-
Jacobi?

No
-
was it active only in the 1920s and 1930s?
-
No

was it active prior to WW1?

No, the puzzle car body is the oldest one known.

Hmm, if this was their first car, the company must have been started in the late 1920s. And it's not in the Oswald book. But relatively well-known. Hmmm. Were they active mostly in the field of commercial vehicles?
-
Yes, that was one of their fields of activity.
-
Gaubschat?
-
No, the coachbuilder in question didn't build any buses as far as I know.
-
did they build truck bodies or complete trucks?

They built some truck cabs and vans of their own design, but it is not what they are best known for.

Did they build railway carriages?

No
-
tractors?

No

was the other product related to the vehicle industry?

Yes
-
did they supply parts to the auto industry?
-
Yes, but not in the classic sense.
-
was it an aftermarket supplier?
-
Yes, also. But their best known product was not aftermarket.
-
was it related to lights?
-
No
-
Ambi-Budd?
-
No
-
would have been too easy. I am trying to figure out what do you mean "not classic sense". Did they supply garages?
-
No
Unlike standard part suppliers here the customer knows which parts came from this supplier and he wanted it this way.
-
body parts?
-
partly
-
chassis?
-
Although they have built vans on their own chassis long ago, it is not what they are known for nowadays.

No, better known
-
Faun?
-
No, getting colder
-
Siemens?
-
No, you should return to the coachbuilders
-
Westfalia ?

Bad luck, Pal, all questioning in vain as oko hits the solution. It is a Citroen B14G bodied as a Kombinationskraftwagen (estate car / station wagon / commerciale) by Westfalia, of course best known for their camper vans, but also for Unimog cabs, DKW-engined vans of their own design, Ford 12 M pickups, Gutbrod Superior wagons, trailers and towbars.
