Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft, often shortened to DMG, was a German engineering company and later automobile manufacturer that operated from 1890 until 1926. It was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach and was based first in Cannstatt, now a district of Stuttgart, before moving to Stuttgart-Untertuerkheim in 1903 and to Berlin in 1922. It began by building small high speed petrol engines, and after race cars that Maybach built for Emil Jellinek it launched the Mercedes model in 1902, after which cars became its main product. In 1926 it merged with Benz and Cie. to form Daimler-Benz, which adopted Mercedes-Benz as its car brand and is the direct ancestor of today's Mercedes-Benz Group.
