Advance notice sign on the bridge to the Starnberg exit in 1973. The European road numbers still dominated, as the German motorway numbers were only introduced in 1974.

The federal highway 95 (abbreviation: BAB 95 ) - short form: Autobahn 95 (abbreviation: A 95 ) - leads from Munich in the direction of Garmisch-Partenkirchen . It has a length of 67.4 kilometers.

course

In fact, the Bundesautobahn 95 does not begin at the Munich-Sendling-Süd motorway junction (1), but 1.714 kilometers southwest at the Munich-Kreuzhof junction, which is similar to a motorway junction (2). The area in between is a motorway according to the road traffic regulations and is therefore signposted with the traffic sign 330 ( ). However, according to the Federal Highway Act, the section is dedicated as Bundesstraße 2 and is therefore not part of the Federal Motorway 95 ( see list of motorways that are not federal motorways ). Furthermore, there is no toll for trucks in this section .

The six-lane route leads about 3.5 kilometers south through the Munich city area. The A 95 has no hard shoulder here . Now the route in the Munich district leads through Forstenrieder Park . At its end is the Starnberg motorway triangle with the junction of the 952 federal motorway towards Starnberg . From here the A 95 is only expanded to four lanes.

The motorway now runs for about ten kilometers along the border between the Starnberg district and the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district before finally reaching the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district shortly before Wolfratshausen . This crosses the A 95 (about 15 kilometers) in a southerly direction and reaches the Weilheim-Schongau district three kilometers south of the Seeshaupt exit . At Penzberg and Iffeldorf over the track junction reaches three kilometers south Sindelsdorf the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen . The motorway continues in a south-westerly direction over the Loisach (just under two kilometers before the Murnau / Kochel exit ). In the further course the A 95 crosses the Loisach and the B 2 a second time at Loisachbrücke Ohlstadt . The last exit Eschenlohe follows. After about 1.5 kilometers, the federal motorway 95 ends at a provisional exit south of Eschenlohe and merges into the B 2. From there there is a connection to Garmisch-Partenkirchen and further via Mittenwald , Scharnitz and Seefeld in Tirol to Innsbruck . The Fernpass can also be reached via federal road 23 .

It is part of the European route 533 along its entire length . The northern part up to the Starnberg motorway triangle has been adapted to the requirements of a large city (here the route has been expanded to six lanes). The route then runs east of Lake Starnberg into the Alpine foothills with less traffic .

history

A 95 in Forstenrieder Park

planning

Before the Second World War , a route between Munich and Lindau in Lake Constance was planned (route 77), which should run south of the Ammersee . These plans were modified after the war. On the German side, for example, a motorway should lead from Basel to Salzburg . The section from Weil am Rhein to Munich was to be designated A 22. In 1974 a new system of numbering the federal motorways was introduced. The route Basel - Salzburg became the federal motorway 98 and the route Munich - Garmisch-Partenkirchen became the federal motorway 95. In 1980 the plans for the A 98 were abandoned due to the enormous costs, insufficiently verifiable demand and lack of acceptance. At Penzberg, a partially completed motorway junction ( 47 ° 44 ′ 31.5 ″  N , 11 ° 19 ′ 54.7 ″  E ) reminds of these plans.

In earlier years it was also planned to designate the Munich city entrance of the A 95 from the intersection with the planned A 99 as A 996.

construction

The first approximately ten kilometer long section from Munich to the Schäftlarn junction was opened to traffic in 1966. In 1969 it was extended to the Wolfratshausen junction (eleven kilometers) and in 1970 to the Penzberg / Iffeldorf junction (16 kilometers).

In 1972 the route was extended to a provisional exit near Ohlstadt (21.3 kilometers). This section of the route includes the Loisachbrücke Ohlstadt, the longest bridge in Bavaria at 1315 m. In order to support the piers of the bridge in the boggy subsoil of the Murnauer Moos , numerous explosions had to be carried out in today's nature reserve.

In 1982 the last extension to date (4.6 kilometers) followed up to a provisional exit south of Eschenlohe.

Traffic volume

In 2015 there were a total of four automatic counting points along the A 95. In the north-south direction, the average daily traffic volume during this period was:

Counting point	Motor vehicle traffic / day	Heavy traffic / day
Munich – Kreuzhof (W) (9043)	65,196	2,200
AD Starnberg (N) (9151)	58,597	2,056
Seeshaupt (N) (9161)	30,988	1,148
Murnau / Kochel (S) (9164)	13,955	685

Construction progress / planning status

To the north of Eschenlohe (junction Eschenlohe-Weghaus) a fork connection to the B2 is planned, as well as a road parallel to the autobahn from the junction Eschenlohe to the end of the autobahn. Both measures are intended to further relieve the passage through Eschenlohe and to make the renovation of the Olympic tunnel south of Eschenlohe obsolete.

The extension from the current end of the motorway at Eschenlohe to Garmisch-Partenkirchen has been in planning since 1964. This should be realized through the Auerberg tunnel from 2023 at the earliest.

The four-lane bypass of Farchant has been in operation since May 2000 (as B 2). The Oberau bypass is also planned with the Oberau tunnel , the Auerberg tunnel and a connection to Reutte and Peiting via a new B 23 (see Kramer tunnel ). The 4.2 km long bypass of Oberau has been under construction since September 2015. This section is expected to be completed by the end of 2021.

In addition, the B23 is to be swiveled north of Oberau, with a connection to the Oberau-Nord junction, in order to further relieve Oberau. The bypass is an urgent requirement of the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030.

It has not yet been decided whether the section from the previous end of the motorway at Eschenlohe will be dedicated as a motor road (B 2 new) or as an extension of the federal motorway 95.

Speed ​​limit

For the most part, there is no speed limit on the Bundesautobahn 95. 80 km / h is only set in the urban area of ​​Munich.

Significance of the motorway within the trunk road network

The A 95 and the A 952 branching off from it are the only motorways in Germany that will not be connected to the rest of the motorway network in Germany for the foreseeable future. The A 95 is therefore of predominantly regional importance, as it connects the holiday region south of Munich with the state capital. The northern section between Munich and Starnberg is used by rush hour traffic.

1972 Olympic Games

A 95 towards Garmisch-Partenkirchen (with the Alps in the background)

The A 95 between Munich and the Starnberg motorway junction was temporarily closed in 1972. The occasion was the Olympic team time trial that took place in the course of the Olympic Games in Munich .

Trivia

The road construction load lies with the Autobahn Directorate South Bavaria.

Motorway maintenance depots

As of January 1, 2016, responsibilities for the A 95 in the area of ​​the Munich-Sendling-Süd junction (1) and Eschenlohe junction (11) lay with the Starnberg motorway maintenance authority. The master workshop is located immediately north of the Starnberg motorway triangle.

At the Murnau / Kochel junction (10) is the Großweil base, which is subordinate to the Starnberg master workshop.

Rest areas

Between the Schäftlarn and Wolfratshausen junctions, there is the Höhenrain service area with a petrol station, which is fully managed on both sides . There are also four parking spaces on both sides of the motorway.
