These were nice trolleybuses I suppose. Don't you know the dimensions of these MAN MKE 2 trolleys? It seems to me they're not over 10 meters. As I know MAN MK E3 had 9,75 m. And what electric motors did they have?
By the way, why are the wheel arches so big? Did those MAN's have air suspension? And what's those things on the trolley-poles? Did they have a function of rising and lowering the poles distantly? Well, I like exploring German trolleybuses, but this is a very interesting trolleybus. It's so pity that these fine trolleys didn't work in the Soviet Union! These look nice and durable, and we in the 60-s - 70-s had ugly koffins on wheels!
