In class, especially during geography, science and religion lessons, the pupils ask all sorts of interesting questions- some of which we can answer straight away, and some of which we need to research.
This blog is for the pupils to record these curious questions and then for others -classmates, teachers, parents and friends, to post their answers. Sometimes there might even be more than one answer to these curious questions!

Mercedes Benz
In history we learned that Karl Benz invented the first motor car in 1886. But where did the later name "Mercedes" come from?
Automobile manufacturers daim-motoren-gesellschat and benz were competitons in germany in the early 1900's in 1926,the two companies merged."A symbol was chosen for the combined products of DMG and Benz.The new insignia was a three-pointed star wreathed with laurel.The word"Merceden" was at the top and"Benz was at the bottom".from SEAN AGNEW.
mercedes benz was started by 2 people,Gotlieb Daimler and Karl Benz. They had seperate companies at first and Daimler's company was named Mercedes after the daughter of his very first major customer who ordered that the cars in his order be named after his daughter. i hope this is right!!!
the name mercedes came from an Austrian diplomat based in Nice, a business man running a profitable business selling cars, and a racing enthusiast, Jellinek had been racing DMG automobiles under the pseudonym Mercédès, after his daughter, Mercédès Jellinek.
