 Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (also known as DMG or Daimler Motor Company) was a German automobile manufacturer operating from 1890 to 1926. It was based first in Cannstatt near Stuttgart, moving in 1903 to Stuttgart-Untertürkheim (after the original factory was destroyed by fire) and to Berlin in 1922. Other factories were located in Marienfelde (near Berlin) and Sindelfingen.

Daimler, Maybach and the DMG company at Seelberg
 The Seelberg factory before the fire By 1882 both Daimler and Maybach had left Nikolaus Otto's Deutz AG Gasmotorenfabrik and in 1890 they would found the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (Daimler Engines Company) or DMG. Its purpose was the construction of small, high speed engines based on the same stationary engine technology. Image File history File links Zzz-SeelbergNoBlaze. ...

Nikolaus August Otto (June 14, 1832 - January 28, 1891) was the German inventor of the internal-combustion engine. ...
Deutz AG is a German engine manufacturer. ...
DMG thus grew out of an extension of the businesses of Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, both workaholic inventors who would revolutionize the world with their inventions for the automobile of a four-stroke petrol engine, carburetor, etc.). Gottlieb Daimler Gottlieb Wilhelm Daimler ( March 17, 1834, Schorndorf; March 6, 1900, Cannstatt, Stuttgart) was an engineer, industrial designer and industrialist from Germany. ...
Wilhelm Maybach Wilhelm Maybach (born February 9, 1846, in Heilbronn; died December 29, 1929, in Stuttgart) was an early German engine designer and industrialist. ...

Akron in flight, 2 November 1931 An airship is a buoyant (lighter_than_air) aircraft that can be steered and propelled through the air. ...
In July 5, 1887, Daimler purchased a property in Seelberg Hill (Cannstatt) previously owned by the Zeitler & Missel who had used it as a precious metal foundry. The site covered 2,903 square meters, cost 30,200 gold marks, and from it they produced engines for their successful Neckar motorboat. The Neckar is a river in Germany, a major tributary of the River Rhine, which it joins at Mannheim. ...
They also sold licenses for others to make their engine products and Seelberg became a centre of the rapidly growing automobile industry.
Daimler ran into financial problems because sales were not high enough and the licences didn't yield significant profit and so agreement was reached with the financiers Max Von Duttenhofer and William Lorenz both of whom were also munitions manufacturers, along with the influential banker Kilian Steiner, who owned an Investment Bank, to convert the private company to a public one. (This agreement is regarded by some historians as a "devil's pact"[1], as the inventors never got along with the new company status.)
Not really believing in automobile production the financiers expanded the stationary engine business, as they were selling well, and even considered a merger with Otto's Deutz-AG. During 1882, Daimler had serious personal problems with the chairman, Nicholas Otto. Daimler and Maybach continued to advocate car manufacturing and as a result even left the company for a short period.
By 1892, the enterprise was close to a crisis, but stabilised itself by selling mobile and stationary engines through a number of retailers around the world, from New York City to Moscow.
In 1900, Daimler died, but DMG's new and successful Mercedes model designed by Maybach to the specifications of Emil Jellinek changed the board's outlook in favour of the automobile. Maybach continued as designer for a while, but left in 1907 and was replaced by Paul Daimler (Gottlieb's son). Mercedes was the brand of the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft before being merged with Benz & Cie. ...
Emil Jellinek (sometimes referred to as Jellinek-Mercedes, Emil) was consul general of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in Nice, (born in Leipzig, 1853, died in Geneva, 1918), one of the first to be interested in automobiles in Austria. ...
Expansion (1900 to 1920) DMG's automobile sales took off, particularly with the first Mercedes car of 1900 and its production capacity was extended to Untertürkheim. In 1902, the company officially adopted Mercedes as its automobile trademark, and the number of employees went from 821 (1903) to 2,200 (1904). Mercedes was the brand of the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft before being merged with Benz & Cie. ...
1906 to 1913 were further expansion years, with the creation of new capacity reducing the number of external suppliers. Increased mechanization took the annual productivity from 0.7 cars per worker, to 10.
In 1911, shares of DMG were listed on the Stuttgart stock exchange. Stuttgart, a city located in southern Germany, is the capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg with a population of approximately 590,000 as of September 2005 in the city and around 3 million in the metropolitan area. ...
Berlin-Marienfelde On October 2, 1902, DMG opened a new works in the mountainous region to the south of Berlin. Its scope was initially limited to motorboat and marine engines. Later, it expanded into making trucks (1905) and fire trucks (1907). The region became a centre of the automobile industry, and other companies moved in.
Untertürkheim Untertürkheim was an ideal location to site a large factory as it was close to both the Neckar river and the Stuttgart-Ulm railroad. The local Mayor Eduard Fiechtner sold the land (185,000 square meters) at a low price and also arranged for a railroad extension with its own station and energy from the Neckar's hydro-electric plant which had been built in 1900. Ulm is a city in the German Bundesland of Baden-Württemberg (about 100 km south-east of Stuttgart). ...
The Neckar is a river in Germany, a major tributary of the River Rhine, which it joins at Mannheim. ...
DMG had planned to open the facility in 1905 but the total destruction of Cannstatt's factory by fire in 1903 hastened the work and the new Art-Nouveau building, with jagged-roof, was brought forward to start production in December 1903. The work force continued to grow. Art nouveau /É‘Ê€ nuvo/ (French for new art) is a style in art, architecture and design that peaked in popularity at the beginning of the 20th century. ...
On May 17, 1904, Unterturkheim became the company's headquarters with the rest of the administration staff moving in on May 29. In 1913, an additional 220,000 square meters were acquired and between 1915 and 1918 it was extended further. By the 1920s, Untertürkheim had almost all the production processes on one site from foundries to final car assembly. In 1925 the DMG design department also moved in. This article is about the factory that makes castings of metal. ...

The Cannstatt Fire (1903) On the night of June 10, 1903, the original Seelberg-Cannstatt plant suffered a great fire. All the machinery and 93 finished Mercedes cars, a quarter of the annual production, were destroyed, together with a small museum with historical items like Daimler-Maybach's first ever motorcycle.
The displaced workers received haven-salaries and additional bread rations. The neighboring companies lent workshops, allowing production to continue. DMG created a Relief Fund (one of the first worker insurance schemes) and began building separator blocks in all its plants.
The following year, 1904, the whole operation moved to Untertürkheim. The last unit produced in Seelberg rolled out in the first weeks of 1905.
Sindelfingen At the outbreak of the First World War, in 1914, companies rushed to produce war supplies. In the autumn of 1915, DMG opened the Sindelfingen factory for military vehicles, airplane engines and even entire airplanes. After the war, limited by the Versailles Treaty, it produced only automobile bodies. A military or military force (n. ...

Motorboats The production of motorboats began early, in 1886, with the Neckar (4.5 meters long with a speed of 11 km/h (6 knots)), the first in the world, and tested on the local Neckar river. It became DMG's first commercial hit, helped by the poor state of Germany's roads.

Mercedes also became DMG's main car brand name. There were some small exceptions: the Mercedes Simplex of 1902-1909, (the name indicating it being "easy to drive") and the Mercedes Knight of 1910-1924, featuring Charles Yale Knight's sleeve-valve engine.

Emil Jellinek (sometimes referred to as Jellinek-Mercedes, Emil) was consul general of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in Nice, (born in Leipzig, 1853, died in Geneva, 1918), one of the first to be interested in automobiles in Austria. ...
His pursuit of higher speed brought him to Stuttgart personally, to Wilhelm Maybach's office where he also met with Paul Daimler, son of Gottlieb. Together they designed a new kind of automobile that would be "larger, wider and with a lower center of gravity". This was the first true-car designed by DMG, as opposed to a coach with an engine. Wilhelm Maybach Wilhelm Maybach (born February 9, 1846, in Heilbronn; died December 29, 1929, in Stuttgart) was an early German engine designer and industrialist. ...
Blending the technical refinements of Maybach's new 4-cylinder engine with its new chassis the Mercedes stunned the racing-car world of 1901. The great demand for the car soon had DMG operating at full-capacity.
Jellinek had promised to purchase a large number of Mercedes cars, (36 units for 550,000 gold marks), if he could also be the sole concessionaire in Austria-Hungary, France, Belgium, and the USA, using the name Daimler-Mercedes for the engine, and also become a member of the Board of Management.

International Licenses
French licenses Edouard Sarazin began early negotiations to license Gottlieb Daimler's engines in France. After his death, his wife finally succeeded, helped by Emile Levassor and Rene Panhard (then a timber-machinery manufacturers) selling their first engine in 1887.
Armand Peugeot, one of their clients, began fitting vehicles with Panhard & Levassor engines, and acquired Daimler's license from them. Peugeot focussed, successfully, on the German market. Armand Peugeot (1849-1915) was an industrialist, pioneer of the automobile industry and the founder of the French firm Peugeot. ...
Panhard & Levassor designed a complete automobile. Levassor mounted an engine (Daimler's) over the front axle, giving better balance and turning. Marketed in October 1891, it featured rear wheel drive by two side chains, pedal clutch, front radiator and steering by lever.
Historians consider that the automobile was "a German invention, while France expanded it commercially", mainly by publicity from car-racing since in January of 1886 Karl Benz was granted the first patent for an automobile he designed and built in 1885.

In the 1900s, after the Mercedes' success, DMG was still lacking a trademark. Paul and Adolf Daimler, the sons of Gottlieb (who had died in early March of 1900), suggested using that symbol. The company's board accepted the proposal in June 1909, also registering a four-pointed one (which has never been used).
The three-pointed star debuted in 1910. In 1916, it was surrounded by a circle with four additional stars, with either the name Mercedes or of the respective factory (Untertürkheim or Berlin-Marienfelde). In 1937, the familiar symbol was registered, a three-dimensional three-pointed star, contained in a circle.

Trivia - By 1890, DMG was delivering stationary and marine engines to Russia. In 1910, it opened its first dealership in Moscow. From 1912, it was a purveyor to the Russian Royal Court. Even after the war and the socialist revolution, the Mercedes won most of the great show competitions it entered in Russia.
- In 1892, DMG designated Otto Speidel as its Munich representative.
- In 1896, the Bavarian Engine & Automobile Company also began to sell their products, naming Karl Moll as representative in 1898.
- In 1910, it opened a shop for trucks, buses and motorboats in Hiltenspergerstrasse 21.
- In 1914, in Paris, one of the greatest races in history took place, with 37 cars of 6 manufacturers from 6 countries. To beat the favorite Peugeot team, DMG used an airplane engine designed by Paul Daimler and Fritz Nalliger. It was built by the automobile department but tested by the airship one. The cars produced 105 hp at 3100 rpm (no Mercedes had exceeded 1500 rpm before then). It had 4 steel cylinders (M93654, 4483 cc and four valves each), an aluminum crankcase, crankshafts of special Austrian steel and a single camshaft.
- In 1921 DMG presented the Mercedes Kompressormotor, successful in both the private market and on the race track.
