Carl Benz, seated alongside a passenger, is guided down the road by his daughter Mercedes, who lights the way with a burning torch held over the single front wheel. The sculpture, created in 1985, celebrates the centennial of Benz’s historic Patent-Motorwagen from 1886. Of the thirty editions made, this example is number two.
