History
The history of Mercedes-Benz can be traced back to the late 19th century, when two German engineers, Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, independently developed their own internal combustion engines. In 1886, Benz produced the first automobile, known as the "Motorwagen," while Daimler and his partner Wilhelm Maybach developed the first four-wheeled automobile in 1886.
In 1926, the two companies merged to form Daimler-Benz AG. The name "Mercedes-Benz" was adopted in 1926 after Daimler-Benz acquired the rights to the "Mercedes" brand, which had been previously used by Emile Jellinek for his racing cars.
