Mercédès Adriana Manuela Ramona Jellinek called Mercédès

Mercédès Adriana Manuela Ramona Jellinek called Mercédès (September 16, 1889 Vienna - February 23 1929, Vienna) was the daughter of Austrian automobile entrepreneur Emil Jellinek and his wife Rachel Goggmann Cenrobert. She was born on September 16, 1889 and named as a term of endearment Mercedes. She is best known for her father having Daimler's Mercedes line of cars named after her, beginning with the Mercedes 35 hp model of 1901. Also, at the 1902 Paris Automobile exhibition, her father hung a large picture of her. Mercédès lived in Vienna, and was notorious for marrying twice scandalously. She had a magnificent wedding in Nice, on the Cote d'Azur, with baron von Schlosser. The couple lived in Vienna until WWI, which ruined them. In 1918, Mercédès was begging for food in the streets. A little later, leaving her husband and her two children, she married baron Rudolf von Weigl, a sculptor talented but poor. She played music and had a good soprano voice, but never shared her father's passion for automobiles. She died from bone cancer in 1929, at the age of 39, and was buried in Vienna in the familial grave, near her grand-father the former great rabbi of Vienna. (1) In 1926 the Daimler company merged with the Benz company. Although the company traded as Daimler-Benz it gave the name Mercedes-Benz to its cars to preserve the respected Mercedes marque.
