One of the most ancient car companies in the world, created by German engineer Karl Benz, widely considered as the father of automobiles, who, with his 1886 “Patent Motorwagen” presented the world with the first car available on the market. His business, founded in 1883 in Mannheim, experienced an initial golden era in the beginning of the 20th century, and was then merged with Daimler in 1926, thus giving birth to the giant Mercedes-Benz.
