Auto Union. So probably a DKW motorcycle.

Yep.

The owner has a DKW stable, with a DKW Junior, Auto Union 1000, DKW 3=6, F800 van, DKW Manga and DKW F102.

DKW bikes were made in Zschopau and after WW2 became MZs after being taken over by the Communists. Another part of old Auto Union made the predecessor to the Wartburg then moved to the old BMW factory in Eisenach to make the actual Wartburg. What was the Horch factory in Zwickau made the beloved Trabant and is now owned by VW thus completing the circle.
