You're right with the Grade, but no Protos in the picture.

If you divide Germany in two halves, the picture was taken in the Northern one. But you could call it central as well.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it an expedition, although it was more than a simple road trip. The picture was taken during the journey.

It´s the marketplace of Göttingen, where members of the "AKAKRAFT Huldigungsfahrt" are surrounded by spectators.

They were on the way to Ladenburg to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first ever (Benz) car outing of 1886.

In the same second...  :D

Hey Otto, don´t remove it...


So this must have been in 1926.

Yes, congratulations, it is the "Huldigungsfahrt" commemorative tour from Hannover to Ladenburg in order to visit Carl Benz. Akakraft was the academic drivers' club in Hannover. They drove the 450 kilometers with an 1895 Benz Comfortable which was accompanied by a Grade and a Benz 8/20 PS.

One more point for you.

The picture below shows Carl Benz with two Akakraft drivers.
