Karl Benz was a German engine designer and automotive engineer who built the first practical automobile powered by an internal-combustion engine.

Karl Friedrich Benz was born in 1844 in Baden Muehlburg, Germany. He was a son of an engine driver. His mother wanted him to get a good education. Benz attended the Karlsruhe grammar school and later he graduated the Karlsruhe Polytechnic University in 1864

In 1871 he founded his first company with partner August Ritter and called it the “Iron Foundry and Machine Shop” In 1872 he married Bertha Ringer. They had five children: Eugen (1873), Richard (1874), Clara (1877), Thilde (1882), and Ellen (1890). His wife played an active role in his business.

In 1878 he began to work on creating a reliable petrol two-stroke engine. Benz finished his two-stroke engine on the 31st of December 1879 and was granted a patent for it on the 28th of June 1880. Benz patented the speed regulation system, the ignition using sparks with battery, the spark plug, the carburetor, the clutch, the gear shift, and the water radiator.

In 1883 he founded Benz & Company to produce industrial engines in Mannheim, Germany. He began designing a motor carriage with a four-stroke engine based on Nicolaus Otto's patent. Benz designed his engine and the body for the three-wheel vehicle with electric ignition, differential gears, and water-cooling.

In 1885 the car was first driven in Mannheim. It achieved the speed of eight miles per hour during a test drive. After receiving a patent for his gas-fueled automobile, he began selling his automobile to the public in July 1886.

Bertha Benz was the first person to make a long-distance journey by car. On the morning of the5th of August 1888 Bertha took the vehicle on a 104 km (65 mi) trip from Mannheim to Pforzheim to visit her mother. She took her sons Eugen and Richard with her. In addition to having to locate pharmacies along the way to refuel, she repaired various technical and mechanical problems. One of these was the invention of brake lining. After some longer downhill slopes she ordered a shoemaker to nail leather onto the brake blocks. Her experience led to Benz adding gears for climbing hills and brake pads.

It had been her intention to demonstrate the feasibility of using the Benz Motorwagen for travel. Today, the event is celebrated every two years in Germany with an antique automobile rally.

In 1893 there were 1,200 Benz Velos produced, making it the world's first inexpensive, mass-produced car. It participated in the world's first automobile race in 1894, finishing in the 14th place. Benz also designed the first truck in 1895 and the first motor bus. He patented the boxer flat engine design in 1896. Many flat engines also are known as "horizontally opposed engines".

In 1903, Benz retired from Benz & Company. He served as a member of the supervisory board of Daimler-Benz AG from 1926 until his death. Karl Benz died on April 4, 1929, in Ladenburg, Germany.
