Private tour for a group of up to 28 people! Car – Bertha Benz costumed tour “At first, Carl only received ridicule and scorn for his motor car,” Bertha Benz reports on her tour. People called it the work of the devil, and no one wanted the invention. Bertha took matters into her own hands and made the world's first long-distance journey! She succeeded with daring! Bertha tells of the early days, the small successes and funny stories about the wheel, other important inventions and about the city – about the driving licence, the milk cart, chickens and other tinkerers. The 19th century was the age of inventions and industrial progress. Not only Carl Benz stands for this, but the whole of Mannheim! Meeting point: Benz Monument, near the Water Tower/Augustaanlage. Route: Water Tower, Friedrichsplatz, Planken, City, Market Square, Kaffee Herdegen, Schillerplatz, Jesuit Church, Lanz Town House, Mannheim Baroque Palace End point: Baroque Palace Duration: 2 hours
