Was Theodor Baron von Liebieg from Reichenberg (today Liberec) involved in this project?

Maybe his fiancee Marie Blaschka was also involved?

Von Liebig was involved and yes, related to Tatra's predecessor. Now who'll complete this puzzle?

Benz-Präsident ?

If not that, perhaps Benz-Rumpler?

Benz-Nesselsdorfer ?

Wendax gets the point, as this is the Benz Instruktor. In early 1897 the Nesselsdorfer factory bought a Benz Phaeton which became the Instruktor in Koprvinice - this was the car used by the company to learn automobile construction practices.

At the steering wheel: Leopold Svitak, next to him sits Edmund Rumpler. Behind them Frantisek Cahel, a mechanic who was trained by Carl Benz himself and Eng. Sage.
