[br] [br]Mercedes-Benz - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: Mercedes-Benz (sometimes shortened to just Mercedes or Benz) is a German brand name of automobiles, buses, coaches, and trucks created for Daimler-Benz AG and now owned by DaimlerChrysler AG. The Daimler-Benz company originated on June 28, 1926 when two companies, Benz & Cie. and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG), the inventors of the automobile, merged. Established in 1871, Benz & Cie. was the most important of several companies founded by Karl Benz. DMG was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and his partner Wilhelm Maybach [br]in 1890, but Daimler died in 1900 and Maybach left DMG in 1907, by [br]which time the two companies were rivals. In 1924, owing to economic [br]necessity after World War One, they entered into an "Agreement of [br]Mutual Interest" (valid until the year 2000), however, this initial [br]agreement still allowed each company to manufacture and sell their [br]products under their original brand names. It was only after the 1926 [br]official merger, that the brand Mercedes-Benz was created and used. Mercedes-Benz is the brand name applied to the models of one of the [br]premier automotive manufacturers in the world and, because of its tie [br]to Karl Benz, it is also the name of the world's oldest continuously produced automobile line. In 1926 when the new company, Daimler-Benz [br]was established through merger, a new logo also was created that would [br]include a symbol for each and integrate the names of the two former [br]companies. A three-pointed star had been designed by Gottlieb Daimler, [br]to show the ability of his motors for land, air, and sea use. This star [br]first appeared on a DMG model in 1909, so it was chosen for the new [br]logo. However the brand name Daimler was compromised after the death of Daimler in 1900, and allowed to be used on other automobiles, so the name of its seminal Mercedes [br]model was chosen for the DMG portion of the logo. The traditional [br]laurel symbol of Karl Benz was added along with his name to complete [br]the new logo. The logo with a plain ring, as seen today, was not used [br]until 1937. Mercedes-Benz automobiles have introduced� both in the past and present � many technological and safety features (see details below). [br]It was in 1998, when Daimler-Benz and Chrysler agreed to combine their [br]businesses � known as the "merger of equals", that a new entity, DaimlerChrysler AG was created.
