They would manufacture small internal combustion engines suitable for use on land, sea, and in the air (the basis for a symbol Daimler devised of a three pointed star, with each point indicating a different way). Its purpose was the construction of small, high speed engines they had developed based on the same stationary engine technology.ĭMG thus grew out of an extension of the independent businesses of Daimler and Maybach, who would revolutionize the world with their inventions for the automobile of a four-stroke petrol engine, carburetor, and so on. In 1890 they founded their own engine business, Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft ( DMG). The name was finally changed to just Daimler AG in 2007 when Chrysler was sold.īy 1882 both Daimler and Maybach had left Nikolaus Otto's Deutz AG Gasmotorenfabrik. A further merger occurred in 1998 with Chrysler Corporation to become DaimlerChrysler. After this automobile production expanded to become DMG's main product, and it built several models.īecause of the post World War One German economic crisis, DMG merged in 1926 with Benz & Cie., becoming Daimler-Benz and adopting Mercedes-Benz as its automobile trademark. The enterprise began to produce petrol engines but after the success of a small number of race cars built on contract by Wilhelm Maybach for Emil Jellinek, it began to produce the Mercedes model of 1902.
Other factories were located in Marienfelde (near Berlin) and Sindelfingen (next to Stuttgart).
Daimler died in 1900, and their business moved in 1903 to Stuttgart- Untertürkheim after the original factory was destroyed by fire, and again to Berlin in 1922. Founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, it was based first in Cannstatt (today Bad Cannstatt, a city district of Stuttgart). Poster for a Mercedes Double Phaeton (1908)ĭaimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft ( DMG Daimler Motors Corporation) was a German engineering company and later automobile manufacturer, in operation from 1890 until 1926.
