The Bundesautobahn 545 (abbreviation: BAB 545 ) - short form: Autobahn 545 (abbreviation: A 545 ) - was a motorway planned at the beginning of the 1970s, which was called A 111 until the German autobahn was renamed in 1974. It was to lead from the A 544 (then A 75) in Aachen through the Eifel to the A 1 (then A 110) near Nettersheim .
The start of the A 545 should be a motorway triangle on the A 544 near Rothe Erde . From there, the planned route was via Eilendorf to a motorway junction on the A 44 and then via Roetgen , Simmerath , Schleiden and Kall to the A 1 at today's Nettersheim junction , the construction of which is already suitable for expansion as a motorway triangle. The planned route between Simmerath and Schleiden leads through today's Eifel National Park .
The planning was also discarded with the 1980 Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan , in which a total of 7,000 km of planned motorways were canceled mainly for cost reasons. Apart from the design of the Nettersheim junction, no advance payments were made for the motorway project. At the place of the planned motorway junction with the A 44, a motorway parking lot was built in order to be able to claim terrain for the motorway at an early stage. The layout of this motorway parking lot bears no resemblance to a motorway junction.
