Mercedes-Benz Museum

FuFu Life in Frankfurt - Chapter Nine
12th November 2009

So, after the field trips in Türbingen and Freiburg, we were brought to Stuttgart. Having the chance dropping by the city we definitely would not want to miss the Mercedes-Benz Museum, hence we paid the half price student entrance ticket Euro 4 (RM20) taking a fascinating stroll through the automotive history of the world leading brand with the three-pointed star Mercedes-Benz.


The Mercedes-Benz flags flying in front of the museum.


Visitors are greeted with the view of a unique new structure.


Three lifts that bring visitors up to the top.

Embarking on a journey through time, visitors are carried by lift to the top of the building and transported back in time to the year 1886, the birth year of the legend that surrounds the pioneering invention of Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz - the automobile. As one legend follows another, the chronological tour descends through seven floors and more than 120 years of automotive history.


The ever first modern mode of transport - bicycle.


The invention of car was started from the carriages.


From two-wheel to three-wheel and four-wheel.


Slowly the shape of car was formed with an engine.


The ancient engines that moved the cars once upon a time.

Here you can discover automotive legends such as the first Mercedes of 1902, the famous supercharged vehicles of the 1920s and 1930s and the legendary Gullwings that all displayed in a spectacular historical context. In addition to the legend tours, there are five collection rooms which explore a comprehensive range of Mercedes-Benz topics across the decades. And you will find the exhibition from every period of automotive history, vehicles once owned by famous celebrities and showpieces from every field of motorised transport. Both tour and exhibition lead to a single end point which looks at innovations for the future.

It takes key moments to usher in the future. A car - the first Mercedes stepped into the limelight in the Nice Race Week in 1901. It was followed by the legendary Formula One cars and the race trucks. Success is one of the forces that drive Mercedes-Benz. The display of this legend tour gave me the tangible expression to the concept of improving on what is already good and embracing people's dreams.


OMG! Way too much great cars here!


The part that flattered FuFu's eyes.

When form attains perfection and technology sparkles with innovation, enthusiasm is the product. Perhaps for the reason Mercedes-Benz continues to capture the imagination of generation after generation.

The exhibition covers a range of fascinating and state-of-the-art topics from the field of Mercedes-Benz research, design, development and production.

Mercedes-Benz symbolizes the invention of motorised mobility. The first automobiles translates the idea of freedom into reality by giving people the opportunity to travel where they wanted, when they wanted. The museum showcases a selection of contemporary issues from the fields of Mercedes-Benz research, design, development and production in a laboratory environment. The journey from the earliest days of the automobile to the present days is one each visitor can take individually and stand face to face with the icons and innovations of the history of mobility. The paths of each tour meet on each floor, enabling visitors to switch between tours – the Collections tour and Legend tour that roughly take up to two hours.
