introduction to the founder of Mercedes-Benz
Gottlieb Daimler
Gottlieb Daimler (1834-19) was born in a handicraft family in Schondorf, Germany. He used to be an engineer of Deutz Gas Engine Co., Ltd., and improved the Otto four-stroke engine, manufactured Daimler horizontal engine and reformed the horizontal engine into a vertical engine. On August 29, 1885, Daimler installed this engine on a car and obtained the patent of "riding two-wheeled vehicle", which was actually the first motorcycle in the world. In order to celebrate his wife Emma's 43rd birthday, he installed the vertical engine on the carriage, and Daimler's first carriage car was born, which was inseparable from the birth of Ben Ci's patented car. Together with Ben Ci, he is known as the "father of cars". The world-famous Daimler-Benz Company was named after them.
karl benz
Mr. karl benz was one of the pioneers of the world automobile industry (1844-1929), the founder of the German Benz Automobile Company, and was called the "originator of automobiles". He was born in a craftsman's family in Karlsruhe, Germany. He loved natural science since he was a child and got some pocket money by repairing watches. He was an apprentice in a machinery factory, a "painter and designer" in a scale factory and a foreman in a bridge construction company. Ben Ci had no workshop and no funds, so his wife sold her dowry and jewelry. After several years of hard work, he changed the design and assembled the engine. With the support of the royal photographer Biller, he improved the Otto four-stroke engine. Finally, on January 29, 1886, karl benz successfully trial-produced the world's first three-wheeled car with a single cylinder engine.
the origin of the Mercedes-Benz logo
Daimler applied for a patent for the Samsung logo in 199, but Ben Ci belongs to a round badge. The logo of Mercedes-Benz comes from Daimler's letter to his wife. He thinks that the star he painted on his house will bring him good luck. This three-pointed star also symbolizes the development of Mercedes-Benz in three directions: land, sea and air. In 199, in order to commemorate the mass production of his VELO car, Mr. Daimler changed the gear pattern in the three-pointed star to laurel twig to show victory, and the "Mercedes" in the logo was taken from the name of emil jellinek's beautiful daughter. "Mercedes" has the meaning of luck in Spanish. Unfortunately, this beautiful woman died in an unhappy marriage at the age of 4, but the practice of naming her after her did not go away. In 1916, the star logo and the name of Mercedes-Benz finally merged into one, and with the merger of the two oldest automobile manufacturers, the factory applied for a patent right for the trademark again, and the star logo in this ring evolved into today's pattern, which has been used to this day. And become one of the top ten famous trademarks in the world.
