Since January 1, 1872, it has been part of the network of Carinthian state roads.

The Kleinkirchheimer Straße existed only as a gravel road until the 1940s. After a storm on July 7th and 8th 1946 caused great damage to the road - the brooks overflowing their banks had torn away almost all bridges and parts of the route were muddy - for a long time it was only accessible by horse and cart. First, the road to Radenthein was modernized by 1949, then the through-town road to the Hotel Alte Post was rebuilt by 1961 and the route was finally renewed up to the connection to the B 95 at Patergassen.
