Map with all coordinates: The federal road 79 (abbreviation: B 79 ) in Germany leads from the Wolfenbüttel-Nord junction on the A 36 in the south of Braunschweig via Wolfenbüttel and Halberstadt to Quedlinburg .
history
Today's federal road 79 was called Leipziger Strasse in the Duchy of Braunschweig and was expanded into a fortified art road between 1786 and 1794 . On the Prussian side, the road connection from Braunschweig and Wolfenbüttel via Halberstadt and Magdeburg to Berlin was designated as Prussian State Office No. 84 . The much shorter road connection via Helmstedt , today's B 1 , was not built until 1841-1844. The southernmost section of the route between Halberstadt and Quedlinburg was not built until 1842–1844 by a stock corporation, the Halberstadt-Quedlinburger Chausseebaugesellschaft .
In 1932, trunk road 79 (FVS 79) , renamed Reichsstrasse 79 (R 79) from 1934, was set up between Halberstadt and Wolfenbüttel, where it led to trunk road 4 . Around 1937, what was now Reichsstraße 79 was extended to Quedlinburg after Reichsstraße 6 had passed through Blankenburg instead of Halberstadt.
The road was interrupted by the division of Germany after the Second World War. When the Wall came down, a border crossing was built in Mattierzoll , so that the road has only been continuously passable since November 12, 1989. The section of the federal highway in this former area of the inner German border and today's state border between Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony leads over the historic Hessendamm .
Planning
The current Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 provides for the construction of an eastern bypass of Wolfenbüttel . This is to begin at the Wolfenbüttel-Nord junction on the A 36 and then to the east on the route of an existing district road towards Salzdahlum . Before Salzdahlum, the bypass should run on a new route in a southerly direction, past Atzum , Ahlum and Wendessen . Between Wendessen and Groß Denkte , the road is to flow into the existing route of the B 79.
