The federal highway 283 (abbreviation: B 283 ) is a 58 kilometer long federal highway in the western Ore Mountains ( Saxony / Germany ).
It begins in Adorf / Vogtl. in Vogtland on the B 92 ( Plauen - Eger ) and initially runs near the ridge not far from the Czech border in a north-easterly direction via Markneukirchen to Klingenthal . The B 283 leaves this town in a northerly direction to reach its apex at the Mühlleithen pass at an altitude of 860 meters .
Then it leads down into the valley of the Zwickauer Mulde . It reaches the Mulde in Tannenbergsthal , where the Deutsche Alleenstrasse meets the B 283. The B 283 meanders in a north-easterly direction along the Zwickauer Mulde past Schönheide , the Eibenstock , Eibenstock and Bockau dams to Aue , where it ends at the B 101 .
Originally, as Reichsstrasse 283, it only ran from Adorf to Klingenthal. After the incorporation of the Sudetenland into the German Reich in autumn 1938 on the basis of the Munich Agreement , it was extended to Falkenau / Eger . After the Second World War it was given its current route over the Erzgebirgskamm to Aue in line with the changed traffic relations, in the GDR it was classified as a trunk road (F 283).
