Bundesautobahn 35 (abbreviation: BAB 35 ) - short form: Autobahn 35 (abbreviation: A 35 ) - was the project name of a planned motorway that was to run from Nienburg via Hanover , Hameln , Lemgo and Lage to Bielefeld . At the junction (AS) Hannover-Herrenhausen there was a motorway junction with the A 2 , at Gehrden there was a junction with the planned A 30 , south of Hameln a motorway triangle with the planned A 36 , at Lemgo a junction with the planned A 5 at Bielefeld -East another cross with the A 2 and finally in the center of Bielefeld a triangle with the A 47 ,which is also not implemented.

Planning history and construction

The plan of the law on the expansion of federal highways from 1971 to 1985, passed on June 30, 1971, initially did not provide for the construction of a federal motorway between Nienburg / Weser and Hameln or between Dörentrup east of Lemgo and Bielefeld . Only between Dörentrup near Lemgo and Hameln was the construction of a motorway called "A 106" intended, which would lead via Alfeld (Leine), Bockenem , Goslar and Bad Harzburg to the inner-German border (later also federal motorway 36 ). Between Nienburg / Weser and Hanover, federal highway 6 was to be rebuilt and expanded with four lanes, essentially extending the existing road and only creating the Nienburg / Weser bypass. It was planned to build the B 217n with four lanes between Hanover and Hameln . The existing bypass should be expanded in the area of ​​the city of Springe . The four-lane should Hameln during B 1n be bypassed east and south. After all, the B 1n should cross the A 106 southwest of Hameln. The Autobahn 106 should be laid out in such a way that it leads via Extertal to Dörentrup and here joins the B 66 , which is also to be built with four lanes . The B 66 was then to be a four-lane new building between Dörentrup, Lemgo, Lage, Oerlinghausen and Bielefeld-Zentrum. For implementation, the routes were divided into the following priority levels:

short form	section	comment	Urgency level
B6	Nienburg / Weser – Hanover	Bundesstrasse 441 / Limmerstrasse	I.
B6		Expansion between B441 and B3 / Ricklinger Kreisel	II
B217	Tönniesbergkreisel (B65) - Weetzen		I.
B217	Weetzen – Springe – Hameln		II
B1	southwest of Hameln	Exception: a short, single-lane section at the Hameln exit	II
A106	Hameln – Dörentrup		III
B66	Dörentrup-Lemgo-Lage		II
B66	Lage – Bielefeld		I.

It was only with the restructuring and new numbering of the network of federal motorways, which took effect from January 1, 1975, that the individual projects for the expansion and new construction of federal highways were created as the “A 35” federal motorway. The Bielefeld – Lemgo line was initially not included; their status was still open. In addition, the routes in the Hanover area and between Hameln and Lemgo were modified.

With the law amending the law on the expansion of federal highways in the years 1971 to 1985 of August 5, 1976, the changes to the route in the Hameln and Hanover area were adopted. In addition, the Bielefeld – Lemgo line was included in the A 35 line, although the requirement plan still included the "B 66" in addition to "A 35". However, the project to realize the A 35 immediately suffered a setback: the urgency was reduced on many sections. In detail, the plan provided for the following:

section	comment	Urgency level
Marklohe West - Marklohe East		Ib
south of Nienburg / Weser - Neustadt am Rübenberge-Nord		Ib
Neustadt am Rübenberge-Nord - Frielingen		Yes
Frielingen - Garbsen-Berenbostel		Ib

Heiden (near Lage) - Lage (B39n)		Yes

Asemissen - Bielefeld Center		Ib

Already the second law amending the law on the expansion of federal highways from 1971 to 1985 from August 25, 1980 brought the end of the A 35. However, individual components remained in the planning as federal highways. They were as follows

In the third law amending the law on the expansion of trunk roads of April 21, 1986, the A 35 was deleted. In addition, the planned new federal roads were reduced. Only:

B6	OU Marklohe	partially four-lane	further need

The deletion of the A 35 did not change anything after the fourth law amending the law on the expansion of trunk roads of November 15, 1993. On the other hand, the plans with regard to the federal road construction projects were modified again. Now included:

The 2003 Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan does not provide for the A 35 either.

Section Nienburg / Weser - Hanover

In this section, the Neustadt am Rübenberge bypass was created in 1961 before the motorway was planned. In the 1960s, the B 6 was then upgraded to four lanes between Frielingen and Berenbostel, albeit without a median or hard shoulder. From 1975 work was carried out on the Nienburg / Weser bypass (Marklohe-Ost - Langendamm ), the construction of which was the only section of this section in the road construction reports of the federal government from 1975 to 1979 under the designation A 35 , but in 1982 under the dedication as B 6 was completed. The 8.4-kilometer route is completely free of intersections and has a motorway cross-section. With the deletion of the A 35 from the requirement plan with the second law amending the law on the expansion of federal highways in 1980, the motorway cross-section was largely abandoned during further construction work on the B 6. Accordingly, the B 6 between Neustadt am Rübenberge and Frielingen was expanded at the beginning of the 1980s, which was brought into circulation in two construction phases in 1982 and 1984 (2.5 km each, 4 lanes, plan-free with median, without hard shoulder) . It was not until 1987 that the Frielingen bypass with a length of 2.8 kilometers (4-lane, plan-free with median, without hard shoulder, dedicated as federal highway 6) was completed. In 1994, the Marklohe-Lemke bypass was inaugurated, which was originally intended to form the northern end of the A-35 route (4.2 km, of which 2.3 km are 4-lane in the motorway cross-section). In 2009 the 8.9 kilometer long section Nienburg / Weser - Eilvese and the 8.1 kilometer long section Eilvese - Neustadt am Rübenberge were released, both of which had been expanded from two to four lanes (new construction of a one-way lane; no hard shoulder, with median, only partially plan-free). Ultimately, with the work mentioned, the continuous four-lane drivability of the B 6 between Nienburg / Weser and Hanover was established, but not entirely free of intersections and not in the standard cross-section of a motorway.

Routing in the Hanover area

With the classification of the line of the B 6 in the line designated as the federal highway 35, the problem of the line routing in the Hanover area arose. Up to now, federal highway 6 in the urban area had been gradually expanded or rebuilt with four lanes:

• New building between the Herrenhausen district (old B 6, Herrenhäuser Strasse) and the Limmerstrasse / Bundesstrasse 441 junction (completed by the early 1960s)
• New building between AS Limmerstraße and the roundabout Deisterplatz (completed by the mid-1960s)
• Expansion of Göttinger Strasse and Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse between Deisterplatz and Ricklinger Kreisel (second half of the 1960s)
• New construction between the intersection of Stöckener Strasse and the junction at Herrenhausen / Herrenhäuser Strasse (4.8 km, completed in 1974)

The completion of the last-mentioned section was even given the designation "A 35" in the road construction report of the federal government in 1974. Nonetheless, none of the sections of the B 6 in the urban area met the routing requirements of a federal motorway. Although a few junctions had been created, the route was still connected to the rest of the road network at many points through crossings. In addition, the sections did not consistently have a cross-section that would allow upgrading to a motorway.

A variant of the implementation of the A 35 still envisaged the expansion or partially new construction of the federal highways 6, 65 and 217 in the city area in 1976, so that the A 35 from the Herrenhausen junction ( A 2 ) over the streets "Am Leineufer", " Westschnellweg ", "Göttinger Straße" and "Friedrich-Ebert-Straße" to the Ricklinger Kreisel (all on the B 6), then via the "Bückeburger Allee" (B 65) north and west of Empelde and finally via Ronnenberg, Weetzen, Bredenbeck would have been taken to Springe. In the road construction reports of the federal government from 1976 to 1979, the construction of the Empelde bypass was listed as a section of the A 35 with a total length of 5.6 km, of which 1.2 km until the end of 1975 and a further 1.4 km in 1978 were completed.

The other alternative was based on a plan that already existed at the beginning of the 1960s and was included in the plans for the first time in 1974: The route should branch off from the B 6 near the Continental plant in Hanover-Stöcken , east of Letter and to the west of Ahlem and to the east of Harenberg and west of Badenstedt . To the west of Empelde, the planning corresponds to the route implemented today as the B 65 bypass. To the south of the B 65, Ronnenberg should be bypassed to the west and Gehrden to the east (cross with the A 30). Next, the route should the west, east Weetzen Evestorf and Bredenbeck and west stein be created. At the Völksen junction of the B 217, the motorway was finally to be integrated. The Empelde bypass, the western part (approx. 1.5 km) of which was identical to the original A 35 plan, was completed in 1988 and 1989 (four lanes, with a median, but without a hard shoulder). Later, in the course of expanding the B 217, the Weetzen, Evestorf and Steinkrug bypasses were implemented (a total of 6.9 km, 2 + 1 lanes, OU Steinkrug 4-lane; 2002, 2003 and 2000).

Section Hanover - Hameln

Between Völksen and west of Springe (state road 421), the existing federal road 217, which had already been extended to four lanes in the first half of the 1960s without a median or hard shoulder, was to be extended to a motorway cross-section. Between the west of Springe and Hameln, however, a completely new route was planned: the motorway should initially run north of Altenhagen I and Hachmühlen and thus closer to Bad Münder . The route between Flegessen and Rohrsen was planned to be parallel to the existing federal highway 217 to the west. At Rohrsen, the motorway should cross the B 217 and run south past Hameln to the east. A crossing of the B1 east of Afferde was planned. In the Hastenbeck area, south-east of Hameln, the A 35 was to meet the east-west line Bielefeld – Hameln – Goslar and form a motorway triangle with the A 36. This changed the original plan to bypass Hameln east and south with a variant that was extremely close to the city, and then expand the B 1 further south-west to Groß Berkel and connect there to the "Autobahn 106" (or A 36). However, none of these plans came to fruition. Even before the development of the motorway project for a BAB 35, a further section of the B 217 between Hachmühlen and Rohrsen had been expanded to four lanes at the beginning of the 1970s, but also without a median, not free of intersections and without shoulder lanes. In the mid-1970s, the section between Hachmühlen and west of Springe followed (with the exception of the Altenhagen I thoroughfare). This meant that traffic between Steinkrug and Hameln had two lanes in each direction, but not in the form of a federal motorway or a motorway-like road.

Section Hameln - Bielefeld

While the requirement plan of the law on the expansion of federal highways drawn up in 1971 provided for the route of the A 106 from Hameln via Extertal and Dörentrup to Lemgo, a different route was introduced as early as 1974 with the introduction of the restructuring and new numbering of the federal highways Considered Groß Berkel along the B 1 (north of Bad Pyrmont ) and south of Barntrup to Lemgo. But in 1976 the line via Extertal could be found in the network map of the responsible federal ministry. In 1977 road maps still contained the planning of a motorway-like bypass of Lemgo, which was to begin south of Hardissen on the road to Lage-Heiden, south of Hörstmar and Brake to lead around Lemgo and to connect to the B66 east of the city. It corresponded to the original route via Extertal. In 1980, however, the road maps now contained a projected continuous motorway from Grießem near Aerzen and Bielefeld-Zentrum (planned triangle with A 47 ). According to this, the A 35 should run south of Grießem and Sonneborn , cross the B 1 south of Barntrup, continue via Selbeck , Sommersell and Voßheide , bypass Lemgo on the route built today as federal highway 66n to get to the area where the B 238 / B 66n intersect today north of Loßbruch to form the motorway junction with the A 5 . Then the motorway was to be north of Heiden and south of Lage , north of Billinghausen , south of Kachtenhausen and Helpup , north of Oerlinghausen and south of Asemissen, and north of Ubbedissen . Between Asemissen and Stieghorst planning corresponds to the realized today route of the national road 66. In the city of Bielefeld, the highway should be led south parallel to the railway line from Bielefeld location to the north of the main station in the A 47 to open.

After the motorway planning has been abandoned, the expansion of federal highways 66 and 1 between Bielefeld and Hameln will be accelerated. In 1989 a new section between Bielefeld and Asemissen was opened to traffic (3.9 km, four lanes). In 1994, as part of the B 61, the Ostwestfalentunnel was built in the city center of Bielefeld with a length of 535 meters in four lanes, which was originally intended to form part of the A 35. The following projects can be found in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2003:
