25 November 1844 - 4 April 1929
Karl Benz was born November 26, 1844 in the
village of Pfaffenrot located in the black forest in
southwest Germany.

Father

The real breakthrough was the appearance in 1876 of the internal
combustion engine developed by German engineer Nikolaus Otto.
Compact unit with equal capacity with the Lenoir motor consumes
70% less fuel and were less demanding of maintenance. A little later
Otto will create a more efficient engine with four working cycles:
intake, compression, ignition, exhaust. So was born the four-stroke
internal combustion engine, which is now used everywhere.
Benz, of course, knew about the invention of a compatriot, and
decided to create their own counterpart. About any revolution or
technological breakthrough out of the question. Carl was just trying
on their own experience to understand how it works. And learning
process has not been easy. Over its extremely simple design singlecylinder two-stroke engine Benz pored for about two years, and only
on Christmas eve 1879, the motor finally earned. And who then say
that Christmas miracles happen ?!

In 1893, Carl Benz invented
the four-wheeled car “Victoria”

1894
the car "Velo"
the first production car

First trucks and buses was created in 1895

1926
the Association of the company
Benz and daimler

Benz became one of the founders of modern
engineering. He developed the original
engine and many of the operating systems of
the vehicle, ranging from fuel, ending the
suspension that are used in the present time.
Having passed a great way, after many
setbacks over the decades, he still managed
to create their own brand, loved by
consumers.

1 August 1888, the first license is issued by Benz, has been
preserved and exhibited in the Museum in Germany
His first model car, which probably consists of a three-wheeled
wagon with an engine on display in the Museum and is in working
condition
The famous three-beam star, was originally used by Daimler and
meant the use of its engines on land, on water and in the sky.
Shortly before the merger with Benz, Daimler has decorated her
own home as a talisman and later it became the emblem of their
joint venture.

The cart was rough in shape and was intended, according to the plan of its creator, to transport artillery. She had three wheels, of which one is in front, leading and steering at the same time. Only the water and fuel needed to drive weighed a ton, and the heavily laden steering wheel could not be turned alone. Two people could hardly cope with it. A copper cauldron with a firebox hung like a heavy pear in front of the cart and hissed like the Serpent Gorynych, the cart hobbled at a speed of no more than 4 km / h.

In 1885, Karl showed the burghers of Mannheim his three-wheeled, self-propelled carriage with a gasoline engine, but the novelty aroused not so much interest as irritation. When Benz decided to drive through the city, the noise of the engine scared the butcher's horse. She carried it, scattering the load along the way. To hush up the scandal, Karl bought the damaged goods, put the car under a shed and began to improve it.

The car was "hijacked" on an early summer morning in 1888, when its creator was asleep. The eldest son Yevgeny sat behind the wheel, next to him was his mother (Bertha), behind him was his younger brother. They went to stay with relatives in the small town of Pforzheim, but that was just an excuse. There was plenty of adventure and excitement on the road. At that time, gasoline could only be bought in kerosene shops, where it was sold as a cleaning agent for stains. Malfunctions had to be eliminated with improvised means - Bertha used a long hat pin to unclog a clogged gas line, and a hat tape to secure parts of the ignition system. Every time, going downhill, the mother worried about the boys - suddenly the wooden brake would deteriorate. More than once I had to stop and ask the village shoemakers to re-upholster it with leather. The rear wheel drive chains extended and began to slide off the sprocket teeth. I also had to stop at the smithy, but for all their excitement the travelers were more than rewarded. The inhabitants of Pforzheim ran in droves to gaze at the three-wheeled "horseless carriage." From that time, his path to fame and success began.

Benz's first car, made in 1885, was a three-wheeled two-seater carriage on high spoked wheels. On it Benz put his new 0.9 hp water-cooled four-stroke gasoline engine. The cylinder was located horizontally above the axle of the huge rear wheels and set them in motion through one belt and two chain drives. A large, horizontally positioned flywheel was located under the engine. It was connected to the crankshaft by a bevel gear and was used to create uniform rotation and to start the motor. The electric ignition was powered by a galvanic battery - this was a better solution than the glow tubes of Gottlieb Daimler, who worked in parallel and independently of Benz (the companies merged only in 1926, forming Daimler-Benz AG) Unlike Daimler's wooden trolley, Benz's car had a frame welded from metal tubes. The car developed a ridiculous speed by our standards - 16 km / h, but at that time it was a very progressive design.

"People's" car In 1908, Henry Ford made his dream come true with the release of the Model "T" - a reliable and inexpensive car, which became one of the most popular and popular cars of its time. In 1913, Henry Ford began work on the introduction and installation in the workshops of the enterprise of a continuous line for the assembly of cars of the "T" model. This was the beginning of a real industrial revolution. The assembly line at Ford's first plant in Hydeland Park in Michigan (USA) became the starting point for the development of mass production around the world.

World's Most Expensive Car Bugatti Veyron $ 1,700,000 On January 5th at the LA Auto Show in California, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 was unveiled, the fastest, most powerful and most expensive car in the world. A technical miracle called the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has a capacity of 1000 horsepower and accelerates to 407 kilometers per hour. And the Bugatti Veyron takes just 2.8 seconds to reach 100 km / h from a standstill, faster than one of the fastest super sports bikes, the Suzuki GSX-R1000!

Karl`s father, th train driver, died of cold when his son was only two years old.His mother struggled to give his son a good education.At the end of primary school in Karlsruhe in 1853, Carl entered the Technical Lyceum (now the Bismarck High), and then -in the Polytechnic University

In 1871, together with August Ritter organized mechanical workshop in Mannheim. Soon Karl Benz bought out partner on money loaned to him by the bride`s father, Bertha Ringer. Karl and Bertha got engaged 20 July They had five children.

In his workshop Karl Benz started the creation of new internal combustion engine. December he received a patent for a two-stroke gasoline engine.

In 1882 he organized a joint stock company Gasmotoren Fabrik Mannheimbut in 1883 left him. In the same year on the basis of a bicycle workshop organized by the company Benz Company Rheinische Gasmotoren -Fabrikalso know as Benz CieThe company began to produce and sell gasoline engines. Here Benz designed his first car.

Benz "s sons Eugen and Richard left Benz & Cie. In 1903, but Richard returned to the company in 1904 as the designer of passenger vehicles.

In 1909, the Blitzen Benz was built in Mannheim by Benz & Cie. The bird-beaked vehicle had a liter (1312ci), 150 kW (200 hp)

Karl Benz, Bertha Benz, and their son, Eugen, moved 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) east of Mannheim to live in nearby Ladenburg, and solely with their own capital, founded the private company, C. Benz Sons (German: Benz Söhne) in 1906, producing automobiles and gas engines.
In the last production year of the Benz Sons company, 1923, three hundred and fifty units were built. During the following year, 1924, Karl Benz built two additional 8/25 hp units of the automobile manufactured by this company, tailored for his personal use, which he never sold; they are still preserved.

On April 4,1929 Karl Benz died at home in Ladenburg at the age of eighty-four from a bronchial inflammation.Until her death on May Bertha Benz continued to reside in their last home.
