Luckily i stumbled over this a few months ago during another research.

I would say it is a Borgward B2500 - by Ottenbacher in Biberach.
Highly interested in the work of coachbuilders from Vienna and Austria. Especially the ones that modified VW buses of the early 1950s. All info highly appreciated!!!

Thank you, Wendax!  ;D ;D ;D
Hopefully the one or other point will follow.

I remembered it from this source, a cover of a brochure from 1954:

A bright and comfortable passenger compartment for 19 guests.
