The double motorway ring around Halle and Leipzig is known as the Central German Loop . It includes parts of the highways 9 , 14 and 38 , as well as the short 143 (under construction).

It consists firstly of the motorway ring around Leipzig, which is formed by three highways: In the south km in this section 38 long runs from west to east A38 from Rippachtal the triangle Parthenaue . The A 14 follows for 32 km in a southeast-northwest direction northeast of Leipzig past Leipzig from the triangle Parthenaue to the Schkeuditzer Kreuz . The A 9 , in this section 24 km long, runs in a north-south direction from the Schkeuditzer Kreuz to the Rippachtal cross, west of Leipzig.

The larger motorway ring around Halle is formed by four motorways. Starting from the A 9 (north-south) from the Schkeuditz intersection to cross Rippachtal to it of the 26 km section includes the A38 (east-west direction) between Rippachtal and Triangle Hall South on, the A 143 (south-north direction) between the Halle-Süd triangle and the Halle-Nord triangle follows, but only 9 km of this can be driven to the Halle-Neustadt junction . From the planned Halle-Nord triangle, the A 14 leads 29 kilometers to the Schkeuditzer Kreuz.

The motorways are or will be expanded as follows:

	section	Degree of expansion	current construction activity
A 14	Triangle Halle-Nord - Halle / Peißen	four lanes	completed
A 14	Halle / Peißen - Leipzig-East	six lanes	completed
A 14	Leipzig-East - Triangle Parthenaue	four lanes	six-lane expansion planned
A 143	Triangle Halle-Süd - Halle-Neustadt	four lanes	completed
A 143	Halle-Neustadt - triangle Halle-Nord	four lanes	under construction
A 38	Halle-Süd triangle - Parthenaue triangle	four lanes	completed
A 9	Schkeuditzer Kreuz - Kreuz Rippachtal	six lanes	completed

The connection points Halle / Peißen, Leipzig-Mitte, Leipzig-Messegelände, Leipzig-West and Leipzig-South are designed as a clover leaf .

In the south of Leipzig, the A 72 coming from Chemnitz will reach the Central German Loop in the next few years and today's Leipzig-Süd junction of the A 38 at Markkleeberg will be converted into a motorway junction.

At the end of 2003, the Mitteldeutsche Rundfunk organized a naming competition for this construction, in which over 6,000 listeners of the radio station took part. In keeping with the station's name, the Central German Loop proposal won.
