Without Karl Benz, there would be no engine no car to produce. Creating, innovating and producing cars were not an easy feat. Without Bertha Benz and her support, Karl benz's cars wouldn't survive. She proved that Benz's cars are essential and reliable when she drove the car over long distances. Kudos to both of them. Beautiful partnership.

Bertha benz is the real hero.... this wasn't possible without her.

Tears come up my eyes. All the comfortabilities we feel today is, due to devotion of the life for a "Great Dream". Thank you "Karl Benz" and "Bertha Benz". you change the history and brought up human society to the next level.

There’s a lot of turn of events that shape and made Mercedes Benz but his wife Bertha sure played a very important role in the history.

Bertha Benz drove home the point that "for every successful man, there is a strong woman behind him."

Bertha executed the first spontaneous road trip in human history.

His wife was a hero With a woman like that a man can achieve anything

If you ever find a woman like Bertha never let her down.

During her famous ride the transmission belt to the generator broke: She used her silk stockings to fix it. Brave Berta!

It's hard to believe that all these big motor companies are some poor boy's creation.

It is often overlooked that Gottlieb Daimler also invented the motorcycle. His vision was to motorize everything. Zeppelins, boats, airplanes

What an underrated video and awesome story. I actually felt pretty inspired by Karl Benz and his incredibly supportive wife😀🇩🇪

It’s not Manheim, this wonderful town is named MANNHEIM, important ☝🏼and we are also very proud of introducing the worlds first bicycle, which was built here as well. Great town, come and visit 😊

Pforzheim, that’s where I lived in Germany. There’s a memorial route for the first car driven by Bertha Benz from Mannheim. This story is 100% true. I still miss that Town Pforzheim!

not only created mercedes benz, he also invented a car

That's why education and continuous learning is important. I admire Karl Benz's mother.

this boy was poor as a child but rich with his intelligence

I wish I could take my mercedes back in time and show him what he made ❤️

What an amazingly put together video. Educational. Thank you for composing this.

Every man needs a Bertha in their lives ❤

Bertha taking her sons in the ‘car’ was the true marketing genius.. I have a feeling the creator of this fascinating quick history is not yet a parent… A parent, especially a mother, who is so confident in the safety of a new & scary technology that she would not only allow her child to be in, but both her boys with her driving and going 60 miles… That was the reason for the rapid interest & increasing support of the automobile..

If he would have been an American, at least 7 movies would have been made about his life...

What an amazing determination, courage, stamina with strong vision. I take my hat off to the late Karl Benz and his partners

Behind every great man is a great woman! I have a new respect for the whole Benz era. Currently purchasing my first Mercedes (13' E63 AMG) and I thought I'd better know the history of the car itself besides knowing its a luxury car & I must say... Wow, I believe Karl, Bertha, and all the Daimler family would be proud of their hard work and efforts today. Can't wait to get this baby! Has a lot more meaning behind it now.

Compared To How Much Time This Guy Spends On His Videos, I Can Confirm He's SOOO UNDERRATED! ❤❤❤

Well done Bertha... You were an exceptional wife and an even formidable Business Partner and Marketing strategists. Benz, you married a Gem. Thank you both for not giving up on your dream. The lessons communicated have been well received. Thank you, Big Company, for sharing. PS: Karl was literally a formidable inventor as well, and no doubt a trend setter in his day.

I did not know any of this important and cool history!! Thank you to Karl for his true entrepreneurship, to Bertha his wife, and to his Mother for seeing the importance of his education. Horseless carriages...genius! And by the way... I love my Benz! Her name is Fancy....perfect name....lol

I'm not a "Car" person, but I find this video really interesting of how a person got to become a symbol in a new industry. Great content!

Bertha is a real one. That’s what every man wants. A woman that stands by you and supports your dreams. She was the true hero in this story.

Benz' native village was Mühlburg in the close vincinity of Karlsruhe ,then the Capital of the former Grand-Duchy of Baden in the south west of Germany. His company was estsblished in Mannheim ,an industrial hub 60 km to the north 😊

People in those times were something else. Their intelligence, creativity, work ethic and determination is unmatched. And the women were magnificent. Us girls today should learn a thing or two from them. I really admire how the Benz's wife supported him, that's rare these days and so is the determination of men.

Great video with correct and full information absolutely loved it ❤️💯also big shout out to benz's wife who really supported him such a queen 👑🙌

I wish i could find a wife as supportive as Bertha

It's nice knowing Mercedes-Benz is the FIRST car company, since Mercedes-Benz made the first "modern" car.

Behind every successful men there's always a brave women standing 👑

Ireally love Mercedes Benz and Am very happy to see this fantastic video 😁😁😀

You don't just buy a Mercedes-Benz, you invest in it! Yes invest in the safety it provides..

*This was absolutely amazing documentary very well done*

This video is so well-made that made me watch every minutes without skipping. I even rewind the video whenever i lost my focus just to try to keep up with the explanation. Thank you for the channel!

A uncle of my father was the first workshop master of Carl Benz. When I was young and applied for a engineering intership at Daimler. So my father instructed me to mention that in the interview. But I was too proud and got the job anyway, haha

His wife was a champion ⭐

The birthplace of Carl Benz was torn down in the 1950s to make room for more cars (yes, the irony). Still, a small correction: It wasn't the town of Mühlberg, but Mühlburg, which is a district in the city of Karlsruhe (the difference being one character or 350 miles). Karlsruhe was the birthplace of both the bicycle (Karl Drais) and the automobile (Carl Benz).

Thank for your time and effort listening to this at work is amazing 🙏🏼

I've taken many trips to far away lands in search of new tech stories and to see anyone who had started from nothing and was able to change the minds of others is a greatness not to ever be loss. With this I feel it would be a greater loss if it wasn't for this and other posting videos. Rumbering the great people of the past.

I have been waiting for this. Well-done 👏. Always a banger♥️♥️♥️

1 billion in 1954...man that is so crazy

Behind every successful man there’s a smart, supportive woman.❤

With a history of making cars dating back 140 years, Mercedes-Benz is renowned for its innovative technology, impressive design language, racing pedigree and luxury cars

He wasn't so poor ...brilliant and willing to make something with excellent quality 😁

I really wonder how time has changed.... People of new generation are mentally sick due to these social platforms. Everyone wants to become famous without doing anything. And in those times Legends like Carl whose only passion is to make his dream come true were born.... i mean it's quite sad.... people at that time with minor resources used to create revolutionary things and now with the presence of everything humans have became dull. This proves what a single person can do if he really gets into his interest and think only about that... 🔥 That's why inventions are only things of past and not now

Editing level insane

What an inspiring and well-scripted story! Well done! 👍

I’m watching this in a SL500 😊

We thank God for granting Karl Benz as The Father of Automobile & Bertha Ringer as The Mother of Automobile 🏆 👏 🥰... Without the determination of these 2 individuals along with the emergence thereafter of Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach & Emil Jellinek, we may still be relying on horses and steam power today 🤗 🤷‍♀️

Great videos including this one! THANKS SO MUCH! Subscribed as well!

I like how you explain. You're a good storyteller too

Perfect video! I would like to learn how they decided the emblem of the company

IT would have been nice to touch on the business and name change history from Daimler Benz to Mercedes Benz.

Amazing channel! Love all the videos specially the ones about cars! A video about BMW and AUDI will be amazing.

Great presentation...well done!

love it😊can't wait for more😁😁

proud to own a mercedes Also a great video

In the whole story Karl Benz is simply the KING of automobile world.

Speaks volumes that most of his inventions seem to be basically 1:1 in use today 😳 Someone should make a *proper* movie out of this

Loved it!!!

Thanks to the vision of Karl Benz, a horse less carriage was created, and later became known as Daimler Benz, a horse less carriage was created and through different changes t o that buggy would be known as Mercedes Benz.

Amazing videos , Keep going 👏💯

This video inspires me as I too in a process of starting a business of myself , Karl Benz story encourages me to continue doing what I'm doing and believe that I can also do it.

I'm more impressed by those who invented the armor missile machine

He was actually born in Mühlburg now a neighbourhood in Karlsruhe. I live in Mühlburg and i‘m studying at Carl-Benz-Schule and I learned a lot about his life in the recent years. Next time double check your informations.

When I got my first car long years back, I barely know anything about cars and thought I would never ever drive a car, no mention owning one, I was badly car-sick and sensitive to gasoline small since childhood. But I immigrated to the US, which is called a country on the car wheel. Mercedes is the second fresh-new car I purchased and decided to try a luxury one this time. So test-drive the entry-level model of serval brands in the local car dealer area. until today, I finally realize the real reason why I picked M instead of others, perhaps, I would NEVER be a car racer person, prefer to drive slowly, safely, and smoothly. I have no more feeling if any car suddenly exceeds and bypasses me on the road than wondering why they are so rash, seems the same kind of driving person like Kal Mercedes. Actually, during the months for my second car purchase, I talked with lots of friends and co-workers at lunchtime, in china, there is a saying regarding the comparison of Mercedes-Benz and BMW "A passenger's car vs a driver's car. ", because the most owner of Merces turns out to be an owner who has a driver, while BMWs is those who like car racing. During test driving, I feel most Steering wheel is too flexible for me and make me feel pressure to be careful with my hands on the Steering. So even though most of my friends and coworker at that time preferred BMW, I still get Mercedes. SO surprised everyone, the first words after 3 years of not talking with each other, a previous co-worker when I picked up him from the hotel during his business in the US headquarters, asked: why not BMW? So surprised everyone, two of my co-worker bought the high-end Mecedens the week after I got my car, so many hidden ones, waiting for others to be the first. I am NOT advocating Mercedes, nor advocating Car-industry in China. Traffic and road(especially high-way coverage and safety) are the biggest difference between the US and China for the car industry. AND among different areas of China, the situation difference is HUGE. In Beijing, I won't drive, easily car-sick for me.

Amazing information keep it up man thanks

The real say of never give up ❤❤

It's very difficult to put into words what a visionary Carl Benz was - and how important his wife was in him suceeding.

That's what we call a Real Engineer, a Pioneer in history of humanity Karl Benz made the next centuries possible for all and his Iron Lady Bertha

I really appreciate to your work on this video man. and especially when you was driving this story by chapter wise that was osm man

No mention of the icon, the silver arrow

Thank you so Much for the detailed video. Really really do appreciate your efforts 🔥

Benz is a really strong man, after going alot setback he still focus on is dream.

Amazing story...thanks for sharing ❤

What a wife! What a couple!

Don’t forget Daimler, he was the Co creator and helped, his daughter was called Mercedes that’s why its called mercedes benz

Thank you for your workYou mentioned that in 1908 the long distance trip to Moscow was started in Leningrad but I think prior to the October 1917 the city was called St. Petersburg.

May God almighty always bless women that shares the "dreams" of their husband,but never to destroy it !. Respect to Karl Benz's wife. Infact,she was such a courageous,powerful and dynamic woman to be reckoned with in the history of technological transformations. Kudos to the BENZ family!.

I love how they claim someone rose from rags to riches. Then casually mention that their parents were educated 😂

I have a Mercedes Benz Vito and despite it being nearly 20 years old. it's the best vehicle I have ever had

Very Informative, well narrated and knowledgeable

Incredible... It amazing that some of the biggest things in the world begin from the least expectant individuals. However, the company wouldn't had marked such remarkable success, if not for the wife-Bertha benz. Thank God for a good and visionary wife like her. I pray for such woman like her.

7:34 It's interesting how the pendulum of life always swings to the point it eventually has to return to where it started. Today we face a similar revolution, with lots of doubt, but also lots of promise. EV's are essentially going through the same hardships that Benz latest tech at the time went through. Many people forget that chapter in history and have the worst things to say about advancements that will soon change the way we live. It's all a matter of time I guess...

Bertha was a huge W

Wow Birtha is a legend, First time I heard this thank you for uploading

Love your content bro! Keep it up you earned a new sub.

was a car enthusiast before cars were invented

Woho who's the editor for this amzing video ❤

This is so inspiring. Thank you!

Will rewatch soon amazing women amazing story😍 and editing..

Behind every great man, there is a brilliant woman. I am not a great man but there is a brilliant woman by my side (not really beside me, my darling is at work) but you know what i mean. In my eyes a great man needs a fantastic woman to urge him on & to support what he needs to do. Gentlemen, without our wives, girlfriends or whatever bus you ride, we need them more than you think...........

Did u know tht Karl Benz wife was the 1st driver in this world.

This is an incredibly inspiring story!
