history

The Gailbergstrasse between Kötschach and Oberdrauburg was expanded into a Reichsstrasse in 1893–1898 at the expense of the imperial government in order to be able to supply the Gailtal in the event of war. From 1910, the southern section from Mauthen to the Plöckenpass was expanded into a driveway. The First World War was fought as bitter trench warfare in the Carnic Alps from 1915 to 1918 . Artificial avalanches and constant artillery bombardment destroyed the roads near the front so thoroughly that it was not possible to repair the destroyed driveway until 1925.

The Gailtaler Strasse from Arnoldstein via Kötschach to Oberdrauburg is one of the former imperial roads that were taken over as federal roads in 1921. Before 1938 the Plöckenpass-Straße was called the B 64 b, after the connection of Austria the Plöckenpassstraße was called Reichsstraße 337 . Since April 1, 1948, the Plöckenpaß Straße has been part of the network of federal highways in Austria .
