Mercedes-Benz, a marque known all around the world for its luxurious cars also has an interesting story behind its name and logo.
Part of the name came from the daughter of Emil Jellinek, Daimler’s partner.
The other came from Karl Benz, the man responsible with making the first car.
When the two came together in 1926, Mercedes-Benz was born.
The famous three pointed star comes from a postcard sent by Gottlieb Daimler to his wife which said that he was living in a three pointed star and that ‘one day this star will shine over our triumphant factories.’
The three points are mean to signify land, sea and air and was first seen on a car in 1910.
