This section of the archives includes documents relating not to products but to the company founders, Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz, corporate history, the plants, the sales organization and affiliated companies. This material is complemented by a historical collection centering on the car and DaimlerChrysler AG, with rare posters, valuable preprints and original graphic designs, coins, medals, cups, trophies and awards. In addition, minutes of board of management and supervisory board meetings are archived, which are subject to strict disclosure restrictions and regulations.

A special feature is the motor sport archives with route and circuit maps, starter lists, information on racing cars and their engineering, racing drivers and record runs. It mirrors the extraordinary successes of the company - from the first race in 1894 and the era of Mercedes and Benz racing cars in the early 20th century via the supercharged sports cars and the Silver Arrows of the thirties and fifties through to present-day motor sport activities.
