history

origin

The origins of the road lie in the Roman road from Speyer via Wiesloch to the Limes to Bad Wimpfen . In the Middle Ages, the Hohe Straße from Heidelberg to Heilbronn existed on approximately this route, which gained in importance and traffic due to the construction of a road between Steinsfurt and Fürfeld that was changed in detail from 1780-89 . Fürfeld was important because of its post office in the Ritter inn , and from the early 19th century onwards as a border town to Baden in Württemberg. The customs office was also located there until the German Customs Association was founded .

In 1812, the western section between Altlußheim and Wiesloch was also expanded to become a Chaussee.

Previous routes and names

With the original numbering in 1932, the then long-distance road 39 (FVS 39), called Reichsstraße 39 (R 39) from 1934, only ran from Frankenstein to Neustadt an der Weinstraße. The section between Speyer and Heilbronn consisted of numerous side streets (as of 1901):

country	State road	length	course
Württemberg	No. 15	30.4 km	Mainhardt – Heilbronn
Württemberg	No. 122	15.1 km	Heilbronn – state border (–Sinsheim)
to bathe	No. 3	18.9 km	(Heilbronn–) State border – Sinsheim (–Heidelberg)
to bathe	No. 77	approx. 8 km	(Aglasterhausen–) Sinsheim – Langenbrücken (today's federal highway 292 )
to bathe	# 172	8.9 km	(Elsenz–) Eichtersheim – Wiesloch
to bathe	No. 141	14.3 km	Wiesloch-Altlußheim
to bathe	No. 78	5.9 km	Hockenheim – Speyer

These side streets were only combined to form Reichsstraße 39 in 1937. The B 39 runs together with the B 292 between Sinsheim and Angelbachtal-Eichtersheim.

Substitutions and gradations

Between Neulußheim and the Wiesloch / Rauenberg junction of the A 6, the B 39 was downgraded to a state road (L 723) in 2004.

As part of the gradation of the B 36 between Graben-Neudorf and Neulußheim on January 1, 2016, the remainder of the B 36 from the Schwetzingen / Hockenheim junction to Neulußheim was added to the B 39.
