The federal highway 506 (abbreviation: B 506 ) is a German federal highway in North Rhine-Westphalia.

history

The country road between Cologne-Mülheim and Wipperfürth , which was already expanded at the beginning of the 19th century, was rededicated as a federal road in the mid-1970s. The section from Kürten - Bechen to shortly before Wipperfürth is generously developed with one lane per direction and one hard shoulder.

Historically, the route is based on the Cologne – Wipperfürth section of the important early or high medieval military , pilgrim and trade route from Cologne via Bergisch Gladbach , Romaney , Kürten- Herweg (the place name is a reference to the Heerstraße), Bechen, Wipperfürth and Halver to Dortmund , whose split is called Heidenstrasse in the South Westphalian region . This fact also results in the course of the route on ridges between the Sülz and Dhünn valleys, which is typical for old roads due to the impassability of the marshy valleys.

In accordance with the high importance of this old road, there is a listed Landwehr with a hill as a height barrier on the border between the Altberg authorities of Porz and Steinbach , and another at Wipperfürth- Wipperfeld , between Bechen and Kürten- Schanze on the main road .

Repair work

Between September 2019 and July 2020, extensive renovation work took place between Wipperfürth- Lamsfuß and Kürten- Laudenberg over a length of around 5.5 kilometers. The bus bays and the road surface were completely renewed.
