AUTOMUSEUM Dr. Carl Benz

How proud the inhabitants of Ladenburg must have been when one man singlehandedly turned their town into a synonym for progress. This man was Carl Benz. It is not hard to imagine the looks of amazement on the faces of all those who in 1908 witnessed the first C. Benz Söhne automobiles leaving the production line from what was originally conceived as an engine assembly plant. And how wonderful that this memorial to mobility has now been restored to its former splendour – as the lovingly renovated industrial monument and museum, the Dr. Carl Benz Car Museum. Star exhibits such as the last two C. Benz Söhne vehicles built in Ladenburg and many other classic vehicles from the Benz and Mercedes-Benz brands provide first-hand testimony of our automotive past. A wealth of historic documents and exhibits also help revive memories of the automotive pioneer Carl Benz.

Realizing the vision: The museum in the historic Benz factory

Previously had Museums often a dull musty dusty image. The witnesses of the past were embedded unapproachable in their distancing environment. Museum visits were often compulsory exercises of school classes and other groups, those who had any reason whatsoever to fulfill their cultural reference.

In the halls of the historic Benz factory the exhibits are displayed in an open and generous atmosphere. The witnesses of this mobile past to the modern man remain within reach, as if the past decades would only have a moment. In our museum you read stories as a document of an era that is determined by moving the wheels speed at which modern time.
