For the car lover in you, a visit to the Mercedes-Benz-Museum is a must when you are in Stuttgart! Located in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim, near the plant grounds of the manufacturer Daimler AG, it offers 125 years of automobile history since 1886, when Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz invented the automobile. The museum, constructed by Durch architect Ben van Berkel and opened in 2006, is built like a double helix, spaning seven floors. You start on top with the beginning of the automobile and walk down the aisle in a chronological tour towards the present - past those legends in the history of Mercedes cars like the victorious Silver Arrows or the fabulous Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing.
