This looks like it could be a German 1930's Electric Street Car. This is a photo found in the estate of a German who visited Germany in the 1930's and then again as a member of the 101st Airborne in WWII. The writing on front warns workers to push carefully and not to bump hard.

Militarist, Cool. :-)
Google Lens found a twin:

Looks like the vintage is 1940, per Google Translate:

Manufacturer MF Esslingen
Factory number/year of construction 20000/1940
In Tegernsee from September 15, 1940

Thank you all! Looks like this one was still running long after the war.
Militarist, You're welcome. :-)
Yes, per that excerpt on the modellbahnforum website, it looks like it was running at least until 1966, and was scrapped in 1975.
