The Longest Highway in Germany: Autobahn A7
The Autobahn A7, stretching approximately 962 kilometers, is the longest highway in Germany, connecting the northernmost town of Flensburg near Denmark with Füssen near the Austrian border [1].
Originating from the HaFraBa plans in the 1920s, the A7 is one of the oldest highways of its kind in Germany [2]. It runs diagonally through several federal states, including Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony, Hesse, Bavaria, and others [3].
The highway is a significant route, connecting numerous cities and scenic regions across Germany. Major cities along the route include Hamburg, Hanover, Kassel, Würzburg, and Ulm [4]. The A7 also passes through important landmarks such as the Elbtunnel in Hamburg, opened in 1975 [5].
The A7 is more than just a transportation route. It is a major traffic artery for countless people, connecting the furthest north with the furthest south of the Federal Republic of Germany [6]. Whether you're commuting, traveling for leisure, or transporting goods, the A7 is a vital part of your journey.
