Bertha Benz (pronunciation, born Bertha Ringer, 3 May 1849 – 5 May 1944) was a German automobile pioneer.
She was Karl Benz's business associate and wife.
During the 65 miles (105 km) journey, she was the first person to drive a long distance, extensively field testing the patent Motorwagen, inventing brake pads, and finding several practical problems along the way.
She drew worldwide notice and triggered the company's first sales as a result of her efforts.
Early life and marriage
Cäcilie Bertha Ringer was born in Pforzheim, Austria, on May 3rd 1849, to a wealthy family.
She used a part of her dowry to invest in her struggling iron building business two years before her marriage to Carl Benz. Bertha could have continued as an unmarried woman; as a result of German law, she was unable to practice as an investor. Bertha Ringer married Carl Benz on July 20th, 1872. She continued to use her dowry as financial aid as he moved into a new manufacturing venture, Benz & Cie.
Carl completed work on his first horseless carriage in December 1885. Bertha served as a field tester, contributing to the Motorwagen's development by adding wire insulation and inventing leather brake pads to replace the wooden brakes when they fell. In addition, she identified several key areas of opportunity – such as the fuel line layout – that Carl later improved. Bertha also supported the Motorwagen's construction in addition to her contribution to the machine's layout. She would have patent rights under modern law, but she was not allowed to be identified as an inventor on the patent at the time.
They had five children together: Eugen (1873-1978), Richard (1874-1955), Clara (1877–1964), and Ellen (1890–1973).
Later life
Benz died in Ladenburg in 1944, where Carl Benz's workshop had been established after they had moved there in 1906 and he formed Benz and Sons, a solely family-owned company. Carl Benz died in 1929 after Daimler-Benz's triumph was promised. Members of the family lived in the house for 25 years. The Benz home has been refurbished as a historic landmark and is used as a scientific meeting center for a non-profit foundation called the Daimler and Benz Foundation, which aims to foster science and research in order to gain a better grasp of the relationships between man, the climate, and technology.
In 1925 Carl Benz's memoirs: "Only one person stayed with me in the tiny ship of life when it seemed that it was about to sink." That was my wife. "She set the new sails of faith courageously and resolutely."
