Benz was the brand under which Carl Benz built cars. Benz was the world's first car maker, building his first vehicle as early as 1885. He patented his railcar in 1886 and made his first official test drive through Mannheim in July of that year.  More

Benz's wife Bertha may have been the first person in the world to take a real car ride when she drove from Mannheim to Pforzheim (a distance of 80 km) in 1888. There are those who argue that this ride proved the car to prove itself. Mrs. Bertha was a resourceful woman and that was necessary, because the first car was not easy to drive. She had to look for gas in the middle of the night and found a pharmacy. The first "gas station" in the world.

After this initial success, Benz became the world's first car manufacturer when it launched the more-or-less standardized Benz Victoria. This car was produced under license by several other car manufacturers. A year later, the Benz Velo was released. Benz continued to live on his success and invention for too long and by 1900 the brand was in trouble. Partly due to the development of the Blitzen-Benz, a racing car, the image was improved. Despite this, it became difficult in Germany to keep one's head above water.

Foto: Benz Patent-Motorwagen 1886

Benz' vrouw Bertha was wellicht de eerste persoon ter wereld die een echt autoritje maakte, toen ze van Mannheim naar Pforzheim (een afstand van 80 km) reed in 1888. Er zijn mensen die beweren dat dit ritje ervoor zorgde dat de auto zich bewees. Vrouw Bertha was een vindingrijke vrouw en dat was nodig ook, want de eerste auto was niet zonder problemen te besturen. Ze moest in het holst van de nacht op zoek naar benzine en vond een apotheek. Het eerste "benzinepompstation" ter wereld.

Na dit initiële succes werd Benz de eerste autoproducent ter wereld, toen hij de min-of-meer gestandaardiseerde Benz Victoria op de markt bracht. Deze auto werd door verschillende andere autofabrikanten in licentie geproduceerd. Een jaar later kwam de Benz Velo uit. Benz bleef te lang teren op zijn succes en uitvinding en tegen 1900 kwam het merk in de problemen. Mede door de ontwikkeling van de Blitzen-Benz, een racewagen, wist men het imago wat op te vijzelen. Desondanks werd het in Duitsland moeilijk om het hoofd boven water te houden.
