Carl Benz Denkmal - 15 Januar 2019

This simple but important memorial stone stands in the grounds of the Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum and looked, I think, particularly striking in the January snow.

"Bei Muenchens 800-Jahrfeier denken die Freunde des Automobils and den Pionier der Kraftfahrzeugtechnik, Carl Benz, und an seine Verbundenheit mit Muenchen - 12 Sept 1958"

I have used my own working knowledge of German to translate the inscription thus:

"On the occasion of the 800th anniversary of Munich's founding, motor car enthusiasts remember Carl Benz, the pioneer of powered vehicle technology and his association with Munich - 12 September 1958".
