history

In ancient times, this route was part of a Roman military road between the cities of Augusta Raurica and Aventicum and the legionary camp of Vindonissa . In the Middle Ages it was part of the so-called north transversal through the Central Plateau. After 1740 the main streets of Berne on the French model became roads expanded, which should run as far as possible over the territory of the Canton of Bern. However, since this road ran through Solothurn, it was neglected in favor of Hauptstrasse 1 , which ran through Bern .
