Yes, and the building in the background might serve as a clue, because it still exists.

I had already invested a bit of time trying to determine the German word to describe that type of bridge when I finally remembered a well-known set of buildings in Berlin that are attached by one of these (originally by two of these) and looked to see how various German sources referred to it. The answer seemed obvious once I saw it. :)

Yes, that's what I assumed. Just using the famous Berlin "building bridge" to figure out what that type of bridge was called in German.

I also see the sports/racing versions of the 8/60 HP referred to as the '2L Sportwagen/Rennwagen'.

This puzzle car is a bit earlier.

Yes, it is a Dürkopp P8, but a 8/24 PS. It had won the international car race at Schwenningen in May 1922.

Thanks for the point! That's an unusual (and attractive) body. Any idea whose work that was?
