Minimum bid: 40,000 € Gottlieb Daimler bought a property with plant in Seelberg, district of Cannstadt, in 1887. He founded the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft together with his financially strong partners Max Dut- tenhofer and Wilhelm Lorenz in 1890. After 1893, the company manufactured Railcars, as well as light railways and tramways. The first truck, powered by a combustion engine was manufactured by Daimler in 1896. Gottlieb Daimler died in 1900. In the same year, the company bought a 185,000 square meter large property to build a new motor plant in Untertürkheim. A subsidiary in Berlin was created by the takeover of Motorfahrzeug- und Motorenfabrik Berlin AG in 1902. The trademark Mercedes was registered in the same year. The name comes from the business- man Emil Jellinek. He started at the racing week in Nizza under the pseudonym Mercedes – the name of his daughter was Mercedes Jellinek. Even he only used the name only as driver’s name, it was very fast connected to the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft. All machines and 93 finished cars were destroyed at a fire in Cannstadt in 1903. Therefore the company moved to Untertürkheim. The well-known Mercedes star was created by the artist Otto Ewald in 1909. In 1911, the shares of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft were traded for the first time at the stock market in Stuttgart. During World War I the company produced for needs of the army: cars, engines for airplanes and engines. Because of the high demand a new plant was built in Sindelfingen. The headquarters were moved from Untertürkheim to Berlin in 1922. Carl Benz founded an iron and mechanical works in 1871, which he renamed to Fabrik für Ma- schinen zur Blechbearbeitung later. His bank forced him to change the company into a joint- stock company in 1882, because development showed very expensive. The name of the company was changed to Gasmotoren-Fabrik Mannheim. The supervisory board of the newly founded joint-stock company had only less understanding for the vision of Carl Benz. This was the reason, why Carl Benz left the company in 1883, and founded the Benz & Cie., Rheinische Gasmotoren- fabrik Mannheim. This company was the largest car manufacturing company of the world around the year 1900. Benz left the company in 1903, to start together with his sons in Ladenburg the company Carl Benz Söhne, which specialised on the building of vehicles. Allmost all car manufacturers had financial problems in the 1920s. The Deutsche Bank had amounts receivable from both companies, and pro- moted a merger of the both companies. A part of the borrowings was ex- changed into Shares of the new company: Benz & Cie. merged with the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft to form Daimler-Benz AG on 28 June 1926. Since that time, always a leading person of Deutsche Bank is chairman of the board at Daimler-Benz AG. Daimler-Benz AG was the third largest German car manufacturer after Adam Opel AG and Auto Union in 1932. CEO Edzard Reuter started a wild expansion course in the mid-1980s. The concern bought the Dornier GmbH, the MTU Motoren- und Turbinen-Union, Fokker, as well as AEG. Parts from these companies were used to form the newly founded Deutsche Aerospace AG (DASA). The Deutsche Airbus GmbH and the Daim- ler-Benz Inter Services (debis) were newly founded. At that time, the Daimler- Benz concern had four business units. After Jürgen Schrempp became CEO in 1995, he stopped Reuter’s dream of an “integrated technology concern”: Fokker, AEG, Adtranz, and Dnornier were sold. The traffic engineering unit under the name AEG was merged with the corresponding unit of ABB to form ABB Daimler Benz Transportation. Schrempp itself started the interna- tionalisation and merged the company with Chrysler (see also page 39) to form DaimlerChrysler AG. He also failed. The name was changed to Daimler AG in 2007. Dieter Zetsche made the company profitable again between 2007 and 2019, before the Swede Ola Källenius took over as CEO. Carl Benz, Gründer der Benz & Cie. Carl Benz, founder of Benz&Cie.
