Map with all coordinates: The federal autobahn 369 (abbreviation: BAB 369 ) - short form: autobahn 369 (abbreviation: A 369 ) has been a motorway between the northern Harz triangle and the Bad Harzburg triangle in Lower Saxony since January 1, 2019 . It connects the federal motorway 36 in the north from the direction of Braunschweig / Halle (Saale) with the motorway-like developed federal highways B 4 in the direction of Bad Harzburg or Upper Harz and B 6 in the direction of Goslar / A 7 .
course
The entire stretch of road is in the Goslar district and is in the urban area of Bad Harzburg and Goslar. The northern part of the route emerges at the North Harz triangle from the A 36 towards the east / Halle (Saale). The A 36 is connected to its northern section in the direction of Braunschweig / Wolfenbüttel via a TOTSO .
The BAB 369 leads south past Vienenburg. It runs through agricultural area, only the Radauer Holz is to be mentioned as a forest to the west. At the Bad Harzburger Dreieck , the A 369 turns into Bundesstraße 4 at Westerode , which continues from here in four lanes and without hard shoulder into the Bad Harzburg urban area and the Harz towards Nordhausen in Thuringia . From the west the motorway-like federal highway 6 coming from the direction of Harlingerode or Goslar joins . The southern part of the Braunschweig – Bad Harzburg railway runs parallel to the motorway for a few 100 meters.
In the southern direction of travel, the driver is given a generous view of the Harz Mountains and its direct border landscape. The urban area of Bad Harzburg, some surrounding villages and especially the Butterberg to the west can be observed very well. The Sudmerberg with the Goslar transmitter and the Schlewecke , Harlingerode and Immenrode wind farms can also be easily recognized from the north. From the south, the Harly and Großer Fallstein mountain ranges with the Druiberg wind farm can be seen to the east.

Planning history and construction
The name is based on the original plan name for the federal motorway 395 , which was rededicated on January 1, 2019 and which was to run between the Bad Harzburg triangle and the Braunschweig-Süd junction to the A 39 near Braunschweig. The A 369 was created in several steps from the four-lane Vienenburg bypass of Bundesstraße 4 .

B 4n: before 1974
A new route on the B 4 between Braunschweig and Bad Harzburg was proposed for the first time by a Braunschweig planning office in April 1953. At that time, the traffic on the federal highways 4 and 6 as through-roads from Oker , Bündheim and Bad Harzburg increased noticeably, so the question was raised a new construction of the two routes. The proposal, in which today's course was recorded roughly from the end of today's A 369 over the Hornberg through the city area, was accepted by the Bad Harzburg city council in November 1953. However, there was no further progress, as the former municipality of Bündheim bordered the urban area to the north and rejected a joint zoning plan. With the enactment of the Federal Building Act on June 23, 1960, the municipalities were given planning authority. Associated with this was both the legislature and the district committee of the then Wolfenbüttel district to draw up joint plans for the structural development and here in connection with the construction of federal highways 4 and 6. The development of such a plan was taken over by the Wolfenbüttel district building authority.
The problem was that in 1962 a further westward course of the B 4 was proposed over the Langenberg and south of Bündheim and Bad Harzburg. This western bypass was rejected by the Bündheim community because it saw its spatial development restricted. It was not until August 1969 that the final planning of the new line was proposed and finally implemented as a four-lane route between Gut Radau and Bad Harzburg city center, which was opened on December 18, 1971.
The opening of the first section of today's A 369 took place on November 19, 1972. During the road expansion, the former Lukaszoll customs station , which was once used for customs clearance between the Duchy of Braunschweig and the Kingdom of Hanover on the B 4, was demolished .
A 395: 1974-2001
With the abandonment of the earlier plans for the BAB 36 , the route was initially given the designation A 395 and was based on the A 39 . The first section of the BAB 395 was built in 1972 as a Vienenburg bypass , which extends between the current AS Vienenburg-Nord on the A 36 and the AS Vienenburg-Süd. The costs for the section between AS Harlingerode and AS Vienenburg-Süd amounted to around 9.3 million DM (1976), which corresponds to 11.4 million euros (2018) adjusted for inflation. On an official network map from 1976, the BAB 395 can be seen as a feeder from the Braunschweig area. Today's Bad Harzburger Dreieck was planned as a motorway junction with the A 36, and the A 395 was to be continued to Braunlage. This plan was rejected and a four-lane expansion of the B 4 was neither free of intersections nor without gaps.
The Bad Harzburger Dreieck was opened together with the B 6n up to the exit GS-Oker / Vienenburg-West on November 25, 1982. With the opening of the remaining section to Goslar on September 25, 1987, the A 395 was connected to Goslar by a motorway-like route. The eastern part has a motorway cross-section and was designed as the western section of the A 36 towards Bielefeld / Hameln.
B 6: 2001-2018
With the construction of the B 6n between the AS Vienenburg-Süd and Vienenburg-Ost of the BAB 395 after the fall of the Wall in 1997, continuous numbering of the B 6 became possible; this was done by the graduation of the BAB 395 to the B 6 on October 2, 2001 between the new AD Vienenburg and the AD Bad Harzburg. Since that date, this section of the BAB 395 was dedicated as Bundesstraße 6 and thus a motorway-like road .
After an upgrade of federal highway 6 between Vienenburg and Bernburg to federal highway 36, which was aimed at by various sides in the Harz region , showed success and was announced at the beginning of 2017 , the then Lower Saxony transport minister Olaf Lies demanded in a letter to Dobrindt in September 2017 , additionally the stepped up from BAB 395 in 2001 Upgrading section between Vienenburg and Bad Harzburg again. The mayor of Bad Harzburg, Ralf Abrahms , also called for the section to be upgraded. On January 10, 2018, the Federal Ministry of Transport announced the upgrading of the route section to the Federal Motorway 369, which, in contrast to the previous design, is much shorter and only includes the end section that is not capable of being upgraded to BAB 36. The numbering of the original plan was chosen to do justice to the BAB 36 as the new superordinate motorway. It was also announced that the previous triangle Vienenburg will be renamed the Autobahn triangle North Harz .
A 369: since 2019
The A 369 has been in a rehabilitation process since it was upgraded: between June 13, 2018 and December 2018, the western carriageway of the line and the western sections of the Vienenburg-Süd and Harlingerode exits were renovated. The subsequent renovation of the eastern carriageway was initiated on May 27, 2019 with the renovation of the central barriers. Between August 15 and December 2019, the driving ceiling was then renovated. Remaining work will be carried out from February 26, 2020 [obsolete] , which should continue for another 2 weeks. The construction costs for the renovation of the A 369 total around 4.3 million euros. From summer 2020, the signs for the A 369 will be replaced and gantries added.
According to the Lower Saxony Ministry of Transport, the signage for the A 369 will be upgraded between spring 2020 and mid-2021. According to the Federal Ministry of Transport, overhead signage is required as part of the upgrade, which was not previously available on the existing route. The reason given is the adjustment to RWBA 2000 . The cost of adapting the signage is around 5 million euros.
reception
The upgrade and the resulting costs of 2.7 million euros on the A 369 are assessed mixed. The chairman of the Lower Saxony Taxpayers 'Association, Bernhard Zentgraf, describes the upgrade in September 2019 as part of a "renaming mania" and criticizes the raising of public taxpayers' money for it. Politicians from various parties, however, rated the upgrade positively.
