Map with all coordinates: The federal autobahn 15 (abbreviation: BAB 15 ) - short form: Autobahn 15 (abbreviation: A 15 ) - is a German autobahn and is also called the " Spreewald autobahn ". It is part of the Europastraße 36 (abbreviation: E 36).
course
It connects the Spreewald triangle on the A 13 with Forst and leads past Lübbenau , Vetschau and Cottbus to the German - Polish border at Klein Bademeusel . The continuation of the A 15 on Polish area is the local A 18 / DK 18 which km after 78 near Bunzlau (Bolesławiec) in of Görlitz coming (Zgorzelec) A 4 passes and after Breslau (Wroclaw), Katowice (Katowice ) and Cracow (Kraków) leads. Although the motorway runs mainly in a west-east direction, contrary to the usual system, it is numbered with an odd number, which otherwise only carries motorways in a north-south direction.
history
The A 15 was initially planned as the Reichsautobahn Berlin - Breslau - Upper Silesia and was completed as a single lane to Breslau by the start of the war . Until reunification , this motorway was only completed with a single lane (south side) except for a few hundred meters at the Spreewald triangle. In the GDR, the autobahn was known internally as A5 . A special feature of this route is that many bridge structures were destroyed by fighting during the war. These were restored in the GDR . The Spree bridge near the Cottbus-Süd junction was rebuilt on the north side. The lane was then swiveled in this area. The Spreewald triangle was not completed until 1962. Until then, traffic to and from the A 13 in the direction of Berlin had been directed over the ramps in oncoming traffic (the bridge over the A 15 was missing). During the 1990s, the north side of the motorway was gradually built. The first completed section was three kilometers from the Spreewald triangle. In the course of the construction work, traffic often had to be controlled by traffic lights. Until the reunification in 1990, the AVUS in Berlin (West) was called A 15. It is now called A 115 .
During construction work on April 8, 2016, a supposed bomb from the Second World War was found between the Forst and Roggosen junctions, whereupon the A 15 was completely closed on both sides in this section. As a targeted detonation of the object was not possible, it was decided to expose the object by the THW . After the uncovering, it turned out that the object was not a World War II bomb, but a metal pipe.
