The federal highway 520 (abbreviation: B 520 ) was a German federal highway in northern Hesse in the district of Kassel and in the independent city of Kassel .

course
The L 3215 (part of the former B 520) begins in the Kassel district between the villages of Istha (zu Wolfhagen ) in the north and Balhorn (zu Bad Emstal ) in the south at its junction (approx. 340 m above sea level ) from the B 450 . From there it leads roughly in an east-west direction through the municipality of Schauenburg - first through its districts of Martinhagen and, after crossing the Ems overflow, Breitenbach .
Shortly afterwards, the L 3215 reaches its highest point at the Hoofer Pforte south of the Schauenburger Burgberg ( 499.9 m ) near the Schauenburg district of Hoof , at a little more than 400 m . This is where the Kassel – Naumburg railway crosses , on which the Hessencourrier museum railway runs.
After that, the L 3215 runs as a bypass road south of the Schauenburg districts of Hoof and Elgershausen , where the Kassel – Naumburg railway crosses again. Then after crossing the Bauna (approx. 239 m ) it passes the Baunatal district of Altenritte in the north-west. After crossing the federal highway 44 , the road reaches the Kassel - Bad Wilhelmshöhe ( 295.6 m ) junction north of Baunsberg ( 413.4 m ) , after which it takes you to the L 3218 , which leads through the Kassel district of Brasselsberg and to Kassel-Bad Wilhelmshöhe ( Konrad-Adenauer- Strasse) passes.
At the traffic light intersection, which is located at this road crossing, the A-44 connecting road changes to the K 36 (Kassel part of Korbacher Straße and part of the former B 520). This leads in a west-east direction through the Kassel district of Nordshausen , passing the Dönche to the southeast, to the B 3 ( Frankfurter Strasse ; 161.7 m ), where the K 36 ends.
The route with the B 3 sharing - - the former B 520, however, went a little further to the northeast and toward the city center to the intersection ( 145.2 m ) Ludwig Moon -Straße - On Auestadion / Frankfurter Strasse .
history
The then L 3215 was straightened in the mid-1960s within the Schauenburg district of Breitenbach by a new road layout and thus experienced an upgrade from the L 3215 to the B 520.The latter received traffic policy in the 1970s due to the bypassing of the Schauenburg districts of Hoof and Elgershausen Meaning.
In July 2010 the B 520 was downgraded to the L 3215 (district of Kassel) and K 36 (city of Kassel) because the A 44 has been a parallel main traffic axis since the late 1970s.
