Kraftwagen

In 1888 Bertha Benz, wife of car pioneer Carl Benz, undertakes the first overland drive in an automobile from Mannheim to Pforzheim in Germany and retour. On her way, her car ran out of gasoline. Therefore she had to get the correct chemicals. Hereby the city drugstore of Wiesloch became the world's first gas station.

Very quickly, the automobile (“Kraftwagen”) became a common means of transportation. Shortly after the first Grand-Prix races at the Nürburgring and the AVUS were conducted, too.

Only fourty years later Germany possesses a dense road network. The combustion engine has triumphed over electric and steam drive and cars are produced at the assembly belt. Manufacturers are now even producing less expensive cars for wider sections of the people.

Kraftwagen transfers the players into the time when cars came to maturity in Germany and Europe.
