The Dr. Carl Benz Museum was founded in 1996, following a private initiative. More than 70 vehicles and numerous other exhibits illustrate the life of Karl Benz and document the importance of the automobile’s invention for the history of personal mobility, from the early years to the present day.

Many will have reacted with amazement in 1908, when the first C. Benz Söhne automobiles began to leave the workshops, which were originally intended for the production of engines. It is all the more fitting that this cradle of mobility should now regain its old splendor as a lovingly restored industrial monument and car museum. It is not only the historic workshop itself that fascinates the visitor: other highlights such as the last two vehicles built in Ladenburg by C. Benz Söhne and biographical exhibits from the life of Karl Benz, for example his former study, make history come alive. In addition, various Benz and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, as well as other historical exhibits, make a valuable contribution to automotive history.
The progress of personal mobility is illustrated at five different stations:
"Dr. Carl Benz Square". Vehicles bearing the brand name C. Benz Söhne and vehicles produced by Benz & Cie. in Mannheim show why Karl Benz became an automotive legend. The exhibits include the world’s first automobile, the Benz Patent Motor Car of 1886, and the last C. Benz Söhne car of 1924, which was driven by Karl Benz himself.
"Mercedes Avenue". This is a bumper-to-bumper display of famous vehicles in automotive history: Mercedes-Benz cars from the early beginnings of Daimler-Benz AG right up to the early 1950s, including a rear-engined 130 and a 170 S convertible.
"Pit stop". Motor racing has always been of particular importance for automotive development at Mercedes-Benz. A number of motor racing legends are shown here in their customary victory pose.
"Auto-Biography". Extensive documentation and numerous exhibits take the visitor on a journey through the history of the automobile and its times.
"Motorcycle Gallery". In parallel with the car, the motorcycle has always played an important part in the history of personal mobility. A fascinating collection of motorcycles from different periods illustrates its development.
