The Reichsstraße 116 ( R 116 ) was a state road of the German Reich until 1945 , which partly (in the border region Posen-West Prussia and in Lower Silesia ) on territory that belonged to the German Reich before 1938, partly on Polish territory annexed in 1939, partly in 1938 Sudeten German territories ceded by Czechoslovakia, partly in the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia , partly in the formerly and later Austrian areas referred to as the Alpine and Danube Reichsgaue . It began at Schneidemühl (today Piła ) on Reichsstraße 123 , ran from there in a generally southerly direction on the route of today's Polish Droga krajowa 11 / Droga ekspresowa S11 via Chodzież (Kolmar in Posen) to Posen , from there on along the route of the Polish Droga krajowa 5 / Droga ekspresowa S5 via Leszno (from 1941 Lissa (Wartheland)), Rawicz (Rawitsch), Trebnitz (today Trzebnica ), Breslau (today Wrocław), further on today's Droga krajowa 8 to Glatz (today Kłodzko ) and from there on the current Droga krajowa 33 over today's Polish-Czech border and further on today's Czech Silnice I / 43 to Svitavy (Zwittau) and to Brno (Brno). The Reichsstraße ran from Brno on the Silnice I / 52 through southern Moravia in the direction of Vienna via Pohořelice (Pohrlitz) and Mikulov (Nikolsburg) on ​​today's Czech-Austrian border. From there she followed Brünner Straße B7 to Vienna. South of Vienna, it followed Wiener Neustädter Straße B17 via Wiener Neustadt (branch of Reichsstraße 345 ) and Gloggnitz and then Triester Straße B17 via Bruck an der Mur and Leoben (today the parallel Semmering expressway S 6). From there it led to Zeltweg (today's Murtal Schnellstraße S 36), where it turned south (today's Obdacher Straße B78), from Twimberg Packer Straße B70) and crossed Völkermarkt and finally reached Klagenfurt . From there it ran via Villach and on to the Thörl-Maglern border crossing to Italy ( Kärntner Strasse , today the parallel south motorway A2).
