Stuttgart — The history of Daimler AG goes back to 1886 — the year Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler invented the automobile independently of one another. Benz invented the Patent Motor Car in Mannheim,, while Daimler in Stuttgart invented the Daimler Motorised Carriage. They each founded their companies, Benz & Cie. and Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG), and in competition rose to become two leading automotive manufacturers. Gottlieb Daimler died in 1900, just short of his 66th birthday. Carl Benz enjoyed a longer life and lived to see the automobile flourish, dying in 1929 at the age of 84 years.The idea of combining the expertise of the two automotive manufacturers first surfaced during the First World War. However, it was not until 1924 that the two signed an agreement declaring a community of interests in which DMG and Benz & Cie. combined their expertise ‘while maintaining their legal independence’. The principal reason behind the community of interests was to establish a combined approach to sales. Finally, in June 1926 Benz & Cie. and Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft formally merged to form Daimler-Benz AG (DBAG). This merger simultaneously gave rise to the Mercedes-Benz automotive brand.
