Imagine the world where everyone walked, rode horses or rode in carriages, that worked in other times, but nowadays it would be chaos.

Karl Friedrich Benz, was a German engineer and inventor, born on November 25, 1844, he is considered as the creator of the first automobile, before him there were attempts to develop something similar, including Leonardo Da Vinci captured some idea, but Benz will be the first to present a prototype with internal combustion engine.

Surely the surname is related to a great industry, we will tell you about this, a whole story that still does not end.

On January 29, 1886, this engineer applied for a patent for a three-wheeled vehicle, this day is considered as the birth of the automotive industry, his invention was called MOTORWAGEN, after patenting the car he did not give it more importance and it would not be until 1888, when his wife drove the vehicle for more than 100 kms.

Thus, the first car in history was driven by a woman, Bertha Benz.

Subsequently, the engineer Benz created the company Benz and Co. and with his family, managed to assemble an average of 500 cars by 1892, something extraordinary for that time.

Due to the economic crisis in Europe in 1923, Benz associates with the company Daimler and thus Mercedes Benz is born, the name Mercedes comes from the name of the daughter of one of the partners who by then was ten years old.

After a great worldwide recognition as the creator of the first automobile, receiving doctorates and awards, the engineer Carl Benz died on April 4, 1929, leaving a consolidated consortium until today.
