The Mercedes-Benz Museum was so much fun to see. It was my first automobile museum and it did not disappoint. The museum structure is a double helix and you start at the top of the building from the 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen to present time. The one thing I found interesting about the museum is that it not only takes you through Mercedes-Benz history, but also historic world events. One historic event that caught my eye being a track and field athlete is Jesse Owens saluting after beating Germany’s Lutz Long (right) to the long jump title at the 1936 Olympics (as you can see in the picture above). We actually went and saw the stadium in Berlin where Jesse Owens competed later during our time in Germany.
The Ludwigsburg Palace in my mind was the most beautiful place I saw in Stuttgart. You can’t help but get entranced in its atmosphere.
