Supreme construction management of the Reichsautobahn

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Supreme Construction Management of the Reichsautobahn (OBR) were the middle administrative levels of the Reichsautobahn construction in the Third Reich . As regional sub-units of the "Reichsautobahnen" company founded in June 1933, they were responsible for planning and building the Reichsautobahn in their area of ​​activity. The construction work was the responsibility of the subordinate construction departments .

From June 1933 a total of 15 supreme construction management was established in the Reich. Until 1935 they were called “Supreme Construction Management of the Motorways” (OBK) and, like the entire “Reichsautobahnen” company, were initially affiliated with the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft . The Reichsautobahn were separated from this in 1938 and 1942 and the management of the Reichsautobahn-Gesellschaft was subordinated directly to the General Inspector for German Roads .

After Austria was annexed in March 1938, the Linz OBR was set up on May 20th .

The Supreme Construction Management also set up and managed camps for the use of forced laborers to build the motorway, especially for German and non-German Jews.
