A monument of many kilometres

Several years ago Frauke Meyer and husband Edgar visited the Carl Benz Museum in Ladenburg. They became interested in Bertha Benz and decided to revive interest in her life. They didn’t want to erect a static memorial in stone, but rather a monument that reflected the courageous achievement of Bertha Benz, when she drove from Mannheim to Pforzheim in 1888. So they created a scenic route that followed Bertha’s authentic roads as closely as possible. After all, Bertha had to use roads that were bumpy field tracks through the many vineyards. Frauke and Edgar have had the present route signposted and made sure there’s much to see and to do along the way. It links almost forgotten sites Bertha passed on her way and it leads through one of the world's most beautiful holiday regions. And remember… Bertha did the trip in two days, so take your time!
