The throwout bearing might need replacing, the clutch itself, and the pressure plate. That's usually the whole clutch system. I don't know if it's hydraulic or cable activated. If it's hydraulic, meaning there will be a clutch fluid resevoir, like the brake system, you can first bleed the clutch slave cylinder. You'll need a second person and some brake/clutch fluid. If it's cable activated, you can adjusted the linkage on the pushrod to the throwout bearing. Try this first before you fork over any $$ to an out of town mechanic, or trash the car.
If you don't have a work manual, search here on this site for someone who can walk you through it. I'm not familiar with your year and model as all my benzes are 85 and older automatics. good luck. Let us all know how you make out.

the original post said it creeps forward even in reverse. If not for this I would perhaps think it is the clutch master or slave, they use brake fluid so you would get a low brake fluid warning light if the fluid is low. but with the forward creep in reverse, I dont know how to internet trouble shoot. could be linkage or the shifter, does it seem to snap into gear or slush into gear? mercedes have a very notchy snap feel to their shifters, it feels positive when it goes in gear.
