Reichsstrasse 123
The national highway 123 ( R 123 ) was until 1945 a state road of the German Reich . It branched off from Reichsstraße 1 (R 1) Aachen - Berlin - Königsberg (Prussia) - Eydtkau near Ruschendorf and led over 41 kilometers to the town of Schneidemühl (now in Polish: Piła), where it turned onto Reichsstraße 104 (R 104) Lübeck - Stettin –Schneidemühl– Kolmar in Posen (Chodzież) came across.
Between 1939 and 1945, the R 123 was extended via Schneidemühl with more than 300 kilometers to Pułtusk (1941–1945: Ostenburg ) north of Warsaw .
In 1945 the total length of the road was 366 kilometers.
Various Polish national and voivodeship roads now run along the route of the former R 123 : Droga wojewódzka 179 (ext. 179) and Droga krajowa 10 (DK 10) and Droga krajowa 80 (DK 80) as well as two other streets that were a long time ago At the time the status of a voivodship road (DW 619 and DW 620) seems to have been revoked. The old route of the R 123 now connects the West Pomeranian , Greater Poland , Kuyavian-Pomeranian and Mazovia voivodeships .
