 HHF Factpaper: Siegfried Marcus pt. 2 The Automobile and the Internal Combustion Engine
Summary: Siegfried Marcus, inventor of the automobile, a Jew born in Malchin, Germany, invented the telegraph relay as a teenager, produced over 150 inventions in his Viennese workshop, ranging from telegraphy to electric and gas lighting, from the internal combustion engine to the automobile, and from military hardware from the electric detonator to field telegraph.
Marcus bequeathed his factory to engineer Hans Baresch, brother of Eleonore Baresch and "uncle of both my daughters," together with all its machinery and unfinished goods, on condition that Hans agreed to furnish yearly two hundred and fifty gulden to be divided equally between Eleonore Baresch and her two daughters.
Marcus' innovations made the internal-combustion engine a viable means for powering a family vehicle and for the trucks, the buses, the lawn mowers and the myriad of other useful machines so enormously responsible for the advance of civilization.

A bust of Marcus was also erected in Resselpark, just in front of the Technical University, reminding historians, technicians and passers-by alike that the German Jew, who adopted Vienna as his second home and who brought such technological expertise and fame to the city, should never again be forgotten.

 #203 Siegfried Marcus Car (ca. 1875) - Landmarks
Siegfried Marcus (1833-1898), a remarkable engineer and manufacturer, lived most of his life and died in Vienna, leaving his most important legacy -- an experimental automobile resembling today's modern car and the oldest extant automobile known worldwide.
Marcus' second car, built circa 1875 (a more specific date still being investigated by historians), is believed to be the first vehicle powered by a four-cycle engine and the first to use gasoline as a fuel, featuring the first carburetor for a gasoline engine and the first magneto ignition.
Marcus started to work on the forerunner of the carburetor in 1864 and was granted his first Austrian privilege (patent) for "an apparatus for the carbonization of atmospheric air," No. 5372/g, issued May 16, 1886.
