Mackenzie Silver line back bike wheel

Posts: 3
Thanks to redirection from money saving expert forum, I hope someone can help. I have been gifted a German Mackenzie Silver line mountain bike, but it has no back wheel or freewheel for the chain.
I cannot find a picture on Google of the bike, but it is good suspension and the seat bar doesn't join the base of the frame, there is just a gap.
Is the back wheel supposed to be the same as the front? Front wheel is an ETRO -559 - 19 ( and there is the number 02 in a circle after that. The tyre is 26 x 1.95
The left handlebar has numbers 1-3 and the right handlebar has numbers 1-6. My question is, what freewheel do I need on the back wheel.
I need everything including tyre, inner tube, wheel and gear sprocket. any ideas where to get these at a reasonable price. I am in the UK until Saturday, returning to work I Bulgaria where I earn 12 GBP for an 8 hour day, hence question about cheaper options.
Sorry for long post. Thanks in advance

You need a 26" mountain bike back wheel.
Is it Disc or rim braked? I'd guess at rim brakes.
It's a six speed which means it can only be a freewheel as you can't (realistically) get a 6 speed freehub, at a push you could use a 7 speed and the tiny difference in spacing wouldn't be an issue but it's probably not worth the bother.
As its a six speed freewheel the rest of the bike is likely to be relatively cheap and heavy I'm afraid as its a long long time since 6 speed was sold on a high end bike.
You need to measure the frame width (internal) it will could be 135mm but is probably an older 130mm size.

Any 26" wheel with a 6 speed freewheel, inner tube and tyre, possibly a chain? But check width as Rookie says.
Most bike shops should have them. Cheaper on Ebay but good luck them arriving on time.

And video shows discs, so if that's the bike, that wheel wouldn't work.I don't do smileys.

Thank you for replies.the YouTube video is close to the bike I have. Thank you so much for the suggestions. The bike has rim brakes not disk brakes.thanks also for the heads up With regards to time. I'm in Cambridge, UK so lots of bike shops on this cycling city. At least I have an idea what to ask for without the bike itself0
