As a long-time researcher of automotive history, I have always been interested in the origins of car brands; BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi all originate from Germany. BMW was founded in Munich in 1916, initially as an aircraft engine manufacturer before transitioning to automobiles after the war. The founder of Mercedes-Benz, Karl Benz, invented the first automobile in 1886, with its headquarters in Stuttgart, becoming a symbol of German craftsmanship. Audi has an even longer history, dating back to 1909, founded by August Horch, and formed through mergers to create the four-ring logo. Germany's post-WWII industrial revival helped these brands grow into global giants. Today, whether in China or Europe and America, when people think of luxury cars, they associate them with the spirit of German manufacturing, emphasizing reliability and innovation.
