Henschel-AEG, Typ 565 DD, built by NWF in 1953.

Yes, but there is a little bit more to the story. It doesn't look like a DD, doesn't it?
Locked for you.

Don't rush like that! Today is a public holiday :-)
There were 5 copies in total, built for the Hamburger Hochbahn AG (HHA). They were decommissioned in 1957 and sold to a scrap dealer. The Erfurter Verkehrs-AG (EVAG) bought them from him and converted them into single-deckers. They remained in service until 1965.
Two photos: before / after.
The second photo shows the front part of a very interesting motorbike: BK 350: two-stroke boxer engine, 350 cc, 17 hp.

Yes, that is the story behind it. I have it as Typ 562 DD though.
We've had the original version before: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2015-44/solved-wendax-1522-henschel-nwf-562-dd-trolleybus.

Thank you for the point.
I have used two sources. Both mention the Henschel 562 for Hamburg and the Henschel 565 for Erfurt. One don't necessarily have to understand.

I did not check the type designation before submitting the solution, but I have now done so.
Henschel only has a type number 565 for narrow gauge steam locomotives.
There was probably a typing error in my sources, as the ‘2’ and the ‘5’ are directly above each other in the numeric keypad on the keyboard...
