Back in 1904: The month of May, Mercedes-Benz company history records the relocation of the administration of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft from Cannstatt to the new plant in Untertürkheim. It is the birth of one of the oldest Mercedes-Benz locations worldwide, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year. The plant increasingly focused on the production of engines and components and was also a central location for development and testing after initially producing engines, transmissions and axles as well as complete vehicles.
Research and development of drive technologies are a key element at the location. The newly opened Mercedes-Benz eCampus, a competence center for the development of cells and batteries for future electric vehicles of the brand with the star, marks an important milestone for the 120-year-old location in the transformation to electromobility. Investments in the three-digit million-euro range will strengthen Untertürkheim’s role as a high-tech facility for drive technologies – a clear commitment to the workforce and to Baden-Württemberg as a centre of automotive competence.
“The Stuttgart-Untertürkheim site and its great team stand for the success story of Mercedes-Benz. With new, sustainable high-tech products, the plant is ready to continue this story. Untertürkheim will also drive Mercedes-Benz in the truest sense of the word in the electric age, thus reinforcing its role in the global powertrain production network. Congratulations to all colleagues on this special anniversary."
Jörg Burzer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, responsible for Production, Quality & Supply Chain Management
"For 120 years, our employees have been shaping the innovative strength and progress of this location with their expertise, experience and passion. The anniversary and all the associated milestones and products illustrate the location's ability to continuously develop. Together we are shaping the future of mobility."
Thomas Schulz, Chairman Mercedes-Benz Drive Systems, Head of Production Powertrain Mercedes-Benz Cars and Plant Manager, Mercedes-Benz Untertürkheim
“This anniversary not only marks 120 years of outstanding engineering and innovation, but also the tireless dedication and passion of our employees. On behalf of the Works Council, I would like to thank our colleagues and congratulate all of us on this success.”
Michael Häberle, Chairman of the Work Council at the Mercedes-Benz site in Untertürkheim and Deputy Chairman of the General Works Council of Mercedes-Benz Group AG
Today employees are celebrating the 120th anniversary of the Untertürkheim plant with their families and friends as part of an employee event with a colorful entertainment program on the plant area. Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, and other members of the Board of Management, including Jörg Burzer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, responsible for Production, Quality & Supply Chain Management, will also attend this anniversary together with the employees. Tradition and innovation are the focus of the many open production and development areas as well as exhibition areas that employees have prepared for their colleagues and offer guests insights into the history, present and future of the plant. The end of the day will be an impressive laser show.

The brain of the original Mercedes-Benz logo was a gold star and the inspiration for this logo design came from this symbol. And people did this by rebranding the year of Mercedes and some celebrated the year of Mercedes.
