Karosseriefabrik Max Sasse - it was around before the 1st WW manufacturing bodies for horse-drawn carriages and automobiles. Attached are two pictures from 1923 showing very simple automobile bodies

I did not find anything on the company M Geisler in Brühl. Apparently it was set up by the Kievernagel family in 1857. Later it was taken over by Mr Geisler. In 1961 it was still around supplying bodies for buses, trucks and special vehicles The attached pic is from 1934

There is a substantial article in Australia's "Praeclarum" magazine 2-12 April, 2012, about this firm which operated from around 1880 until they closed down in 1960.
They gradually moved into motor car body production around 1911, and by 1923 were exclusively making motor car bodies. One of their last was for a Rolls-Royce Wraith, was built in 1938.
