Last Week’s Friddle: Who is Mercedes of the German manufacturer Mercedes-Benz?
Last Week’s Friddle Answer: The incorporation of the name Mercedes in the new brand name honored the most important model series of Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft automobiles, the Mercedes series, which were designed and built by Wilhelm Maybach. They derived their name from a 1900 engine named after the daughter of Emil Jellinek. Jellinek became one of DMG’s directors in 1900 and ordered a small number of race cars, which were built to his specifications by Maybach. Jellinek stipulated that the engine be named Daimler-Mercedes, and made the new automobile famous through motorsports. That race car later became known as the Mercedes 35 hp, the first of the series of production models bearing the name, Mercedes.
