Made in Baden-Württemberg
What does the safety match, the rotating piston engine, the perm and a concrete mixer have in common?
Correct, they have all been invented in Baden-Württemberg.
The motor vehicle was even invented twice: in Mannheim by Carl Benz and in parallel by Gottlieb Daimler in Bad Cannstatt.
To this very day, the number of patent registrations in Baden-Württemberg is far above average, per capita, twice the number of those in the United States and four times as much as in Japan.
Baden-Württemberg is quite rightly known as the land of thinkers and inventors. Ideas are born here and mature to become successful companies of considerable importance. From the motor vehicle to bio technology. From the printing machine to the teddy bear.
