After the Rudolphstein bridge on the Saale was destroyed in 1945, the transit traffic (interzonal traffic) between East Germany and West Germany coming from the Schleiz motorway exit was diverted on the winding federal highway 2, which overcomes differences in altitude, via Zollgrün , Gefell , Dobareuth and Juchhöh to the border crossing to Töpen . Juchhöh was a checkpoint until December 16, 1966. With the completion of the new motorway bridge, traffic could roll over the motorway again continuously.
