Wilhelm Maybach
Wilhelm Maybach was a German engineer from Heilbronn who, with Gottlieb Daimler, developed light, fast-running petrol engines at Cannstatt from the 1880s. He designed the first Mercedes car of 1901 for the Daimler company, and later founded his own firm, which built engines for Zeppelin airships and luxury cars under the Maybach name.
