Gottlieb Daimler and His Inventions

Gottlieb Wilhelm Daimler was born March 17, 1834 in the Kingdom of Württemburg. Gottlieb was a German inventor and engineer who made significant contributions to the Automotive Industry.
Gottlieb Daimler was a man of the frontier, stretching in every sense beyond boundaries. His family had lived in the village of Schorndorf for nearly two centuries. For four generations the family had been very good bakers. Gottlieb's father, Johannes, owned a bakery and a wine shop. His uncle, Heinrich, was Schorndorf's chief architect. As you can see the Daimler family was an important part in the village's history.
Gottlieb had a pleasant and uneventful childhood. He was very talented in math and a civil service career was planned for him until the Revolutions of 1848, when his father decided apprenticeship to a local carbine manufacturer would make a better lifestyle for his son in the future. Gottlieb finished the apprenticeship, but he didn't like making guns.
