course

The street branches off in Straßwalchen from the B1  Wiener Straße (Vienna - Salzburg), here called Salzburgerstraße , and is initially called Mondseerstraße , but the name then changes to the old route closer to the Westbahn . She leaves the place in a south-easterly direction via Thalham and passes Irrsdorf . At Oberhofen - Römerweg it crosses the state border (km 3.8) and leads over the Western Railway. At Wegdorf it crosses the valley pass into Mondseeland ( 587  m above sea level ). It then passes the Irrsee (Zellersee) and the town of Zell am Moos to the east. Here the L1281 Vöcklatalstraße branches off  towards Frankenmarkt . The B154 reaches the Mondsee- Tiefgraben industrial park near Weissenstein . The Mondsee junction of the A1  West Autobahn is located there  (Exit 264). This is followed by the junction of the L1279  Mondseebergstraße , which leads over the direction Mondseeberg and then to Vöcklatalstraße. In Mondsee, the B154 runs west of the town center to Mondsee , whose west bank it now follows. Here on the lakeshore is the junction of the B151  Attersee Straße to the southeast (Mondsee-Ostufer), and then at Höribach the junction of the L539 / L103  Thalgaustraße westwards via Thalgau towards Salzburg . In between it is called Mondseestrasse .

The road to Plomberg leads via St. Lorenz , which is a little off the beaten track under the Drachenwand , and a little away from the lake . Now a winding route begins directly between the lake and the steep rock faces of the mountain foot to Scharfling . Immediately after the road changes back to the state of Salzburg (km 25.8), the L217 / L543 Kienbergwandstraße branches off  along the Mondsee south bank towards Lake Mondsee . The B154 now climbs to the Scharflinger Höhe pass  ( 604  m above sea level ) on the Schafberg . Past the small Krotensee , Hüttenstein Castle and over Winkl it leads to the north shore of Lake Wolfgang . It follows this a bit, here it is called Billrothstrasse , Mondseestrasse is the name of today's Ortstrasse on the lake. It joins the B158  Wolfgangsee Straße , the road from Salzburg to Bad Ischl , at km 31.6 in St. Gilgen .

history

From Straßwalchen to St. Lorenz am Mondsee, the road runs in the flat valley floor of the Randalpen Alps. Most of the road in the foreland is certainly an old road that goes back at least to Roman times. The following part along the Mondsee, on the steep walls of the Almkogel , and over the Scharflinger Höhe is mountainous in character. Until modern times, the route on Mondsee was impassable, the Scharflinger Seewinkel was only accessible by boat . It was not until the beginning of the 16th century that a steep road was built over the Scharflinger Höhe. In the Middle Ages, the castles of Straßwalchen , Wildeneck am Irrsee, Wartenfels near Thalgau and Hüttenstein an der Scharflinger Höhe controlled the plains.

In 1614, the already dilapidated Hüttenstein facilities were repaired. The arched street gate "on the Reitt between the Perge des Mannsee and Abersee" was repaired. In the time of the Turkish Wars, the facility was also given the name Turkenschanz .

In 1833, the route on Mondsee was rebuilt to meet the increased interest in the route to Bad Ischl during the summer . The Ischlerbahn (Salzkammergut-Lokalbahn, SLKB) was built in 1891 and ran parallel to Mondseer Strasse from St. Lorenz to St. Gilgen, as did its St. Lorenz – Mondsee detour. This line was torn down in 1957.

The 4 km long Straßwalchen-Irrstorfer Strasse and the 5 km long St. Gilgen-Mondseer Strasse are among the 20 roads that are expressly designated as state roads in the Salzburg Road Act of 14 January 1873. Both routes ended at the national border. In Upper Austria, the subsequent 14 km stretch to Mondsee was known as the Mondsee-Straßwalchner Strasse .

This district road Mondsee – Straßwalchen was given the more melodious name Irrseestrasse in 1932 . The name Mondseestraße was given to the route Thalgau - Mondsee - Unterach am Attersee - Burgau - Weißenbach running on the north bank of the Mondsee , which since 1948 has been known as Thalgauer Landesstraße / Thalgaustraße  ( L103 / L539 , to Mondsee) or Attersee Straße  (B151) and Seeleitenstraße  ( B152, from Unterach). The 8 km long road between Mondsee and Scharfling was renamed Drachenwandstraße , before 1932 this road was part of St. Georgen-Mondseer Bezirksstraße (today's L541  Oberwanger Straße St. Georgen to Innerschwand , then B151).

After the annexation of Austria , the Upper Austrian road network was reorganized according to the German model. The road between Braunau , Straßwalchen and Sankt Gilgen was declared a 1st order state road on April 1, 1940 and was designated LIO 4 throughout.

The Mondsee Straße in its present form has been part of the network of federal highways in Austria since January 1st, 1949 . Since April 1, 2002 it has been under the administration of the two federal states.

In 1959, after the Ischler Railway was closed, the St. Lorenz and Plomberg - Scharfling bypass route on the lakeshore was redesigned. In 1992 the Sankt Gilgen-Billroth bypass was built, which also uses the Ischler railway line. In the middle of the 2000s, the Kienbergwandstrasse Scharfling - See am Mondsee, which connects the St. Gilgener Ober- and Unterburgau , was expanded - the Salzburg section of the B154 there represents the only connection to these two districts. From this time on, a few roundabouts were built , see above the B1 connection in Straßwalchen (2016, as part of the bypass), several in Mondsee (Weißenstein 2013, A1 connection 2012, center, Höribach) and in St. Gilgen (B158 connection)
