The automobile - pronounce it out loud, you'll say it something like "ow-toe moh-beel", i.e. in a German accent. Because Germans invented cars.

I think the otto & diesel cycles are a better claim than the automobile, given there are like 100 different competing "first automobiles" to chose from
The Wankel engine is also a German invention. Though you could argue it's an improved Otto cycle. Also the inventor is problematic to say the least.
