What is the best car museum in Stuttgart?
Mercedes-Benz Museum. Top attraction in Stuttgart. The Mercedes‑Benz Museum in Stuttgart celebrates the automobile invented by Carl Benz in 1886: it relates its history and tells its stories, bringing both alive by placing them in the context of technology, day-to-day life, social history and popular culture. Origins: Mercedes-Benz traces its origins to Karl Benz’s creation of the first petrol-powered car, the Benz Patent Motorwagen, in 1886. BMW, on the other hand, was founded in 1916, originally producing aircraft engines.
