Automobile walking tour: With Bertha Benz through Mannheim – city tour in costume – Baden-Württemberg, Germany

EXPERIENCE

PRIVATE TOUR for a group of up to 28 people! Automobile – Bertha Benz costume tour “At first, Carl only received ridicule and scorn for his motor car,” reports Bertha Benz in her tour. People spoke of the devil’s work and nobody wanted the invention. Bertha took up the cause and drove the world’s first long-distance trip! With daring, a garter and a hatpin, she made it! Bertha tells of the beginnings, the small successes and funny stories about bicycles and the city – about driving licenses, the milk cart, chickens and other inventors. 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 sculpture, near the water tower/Augustaanlage. Walk: Water Tower, Friedrichsplatz, Planken, City, Marktsplatz, Kaffee Herdegen, Schillerplatz, Jesuit Church, Lanz Stadthaus, Mannheim Baroque Palace Drop-off location: Baroque Palace Duration 2 h
