The Automuseum Dr. Carl Benz is a privately owned museum that focuses on the history of automobile manufacturers, specifically Karl Benz. The museum was established in 1984 and has been at its current location since 2005 - the current building was once a factory which produced automobiles under the C. Benz Sohne brand. You’ll be able to see numerous artifacts, memorabilia, and over 120 vehicles, from the first automobile in the world to the Mercedes-Benz Formula One racing car. Other displays also include the wooden wheel constructed by Freiherr von Drais and several wonderful scooters. An interesting fact is that only three of the vehicles built there exist worldwide, two of which are back on display in the factory hall for you to see.
