Description

The monument by the Pforzheim artist René Dantes commemorates the pioneering deed of Bertha Benz, who, together with her sons Eugen and Richard, undertook the world's first long-distance journey in an automobile in August 1888. The extremely arduous journey went over "hill and dale" from Mannheim to her hometown of Pforzheim.
