This , people, should be a nice love story.. inspiring love story of a great couple..

Bertha Benz was gorgeous.

Cecilie BERTHA Ringer BENZ was a bold German visionary long before the spoke of female empowerment. She changed the world as we know it. Even as a minor, she asked her father to emancipate her so that she could take her dowry in advance and invest in the small business that her fiancé Carl Michel Vaillant Benz was starting there in Pforzheim. They later moved to Manheim, where they founded a metallurgist interprise, in which Carl created his prototype used for the patent application, granted in January 1886. For THREE years, through magazine advertisements, newspapers and exhibition fairs, he tried unsuccessfully to sell his product but nobody wanted it, it was thought that it was much more practical (and cheap) to use a horse than that "contraption". This led to the bankruptcy of the Benz family metallurgist, with the attachment of all machines and equipment for auction. Only the small vehicle was left, even the bank didn't want it. But Bertha believed in the invention of the desperate and desperate husband and secretly planned to help him. In the early hours of August 5, 1888, with the help of his teenage sons, Eugen and Richard, she moved away from home and started the engine of Patent Wagen No. 3 (the first two were very fragile and unstable - no one had actually run satisfactorily with them) and undertook one of the most important journeys in the history of mankind. At that oment she just wanted to save her family. After sixty-six miles to her hometown of Pforzheim, she not only publicized her husband's upbringing, getting the first clients, but revolutionized the world: She was the very FIRST PERSON to truly drive a car - and not by meters but by HUNDREDS of KILOMETERS; She started the world auto industry (August 5, 1888 is the official birth for this feat); Created Product Engineering, there is no car factory without it. His critical observations and emergency modifications throughout the journey, later passed on to Carl, made for a better product. And saved the man she loved. Julio Cesar Gaudioso

A wonderful story and history - a true inspiration to all women - WOMAN POWER !! :)

I love Mercedes 💚

I just love gutsy adventuresome women!

Das Beste oder nichts!

Bertha Benz uma mulher a frente do seu tempo

In contrast to the common myth about her epic ride it was not "Motorwagen Nr. 1" that she took for it. Nr.1 was a prototype that Benz was not too convinced of. He took it apart very soon but kept some relics. Those have been on display on the "Deutsches Museum" in Munich for over 100 years now, being completed to a half-restored, half-replica "Motorwagen Nr.1". It was his third car, "Motorwagen Nr. 3" that he finally wanted to built in numbers. But nobody wanted it. Then, this special night, Bertha woke up her two sons and gave the flywheel a swirl. Nr.3 was a threewheeler like the two prototypes before, but it was back to cheaper and more solid wooden wheels (artillery wheels). Maybe that the two large rear wheels of Nr. 1 ( probably intended for penny-farthing bicycles) had been too flimsy for the bad dirttrack roads of their age.

Tough WOMAN... When the going gets tough...the tough get going..❤❤❤❤❤❤

So it was her money, effort, promotion, all while she had and raised kids. he invented it taking her opinion on details and finished product. I wonder how many inventors out there were selfish and never credited their wives with hard work. Good on Karl for being a real man and giving credit where the credit is due.

Great WOMAN Power ...Kudos to Bertha Benz!

Merci

Kudos to Bertha

WOW!!!!

Carl knew that the prototype was not ready for a demonstration, it was very risky what she did, but luckily it worked

Cäcilie Bertha Ringer Benz meine Mutter hat auch so eine personalitöt Vogel, Maria. Ich sehen sie nur mehr im Himmel.

And her name should have been on the car as well next to the inventor Benz.

💞

It was a publicity stunt . . . AND IT WORKED!

Can't belive what a versatile personality she was Wanna see her biopic please provide the link

Dieses Gesichte habe ich erste mal als ich im Pforzheim zum Goldschmied Schule besucht haben gehört , schöne Stadt Pforzheim nur Goldschmied Stadt vor ziehen der Temperament der Pforzheimer Damen unbekannt bleiben

What's left is for them to say that the idea for the car was hers, but Carl stole it from her😄. What he did was bold, and logistically a disaster, but it worked.

I love bmw

As all women.... She waited at the finish line for carl benz.

must be a shock to most Americans, the first car been made by a German ( and not Ford ) and the first driver a woman!

why ever old phoTis of m GreaT Grandma + her daughTer my Granfma were stolen as well

Bertha was easily replaceable. Her husband was not. What Bertha contributed was finance from her large dowry, which enabled Karl to build an industry.
