Bundesstrasse 14
Map with all coordinates: The federal highway 14 (abbreviation: B 14 ) is one of the long main roads in southern Germany and runs through the states of Baden-Wuerttemberg and Bavaria from the Bodensee over Stuttgart and Nuremberg to the Czech border.
course
Stockach - Stuttgart
It begins on the outskirts of Stockach , about five kilometers northwest of Lake Constance . From here it first leads in a north-westerly direction through the Obere Donau Nature Park to Tuttlingen (23 km), where it crosses the still young Danube . Now it leads on a scenic route as the "German Clock Route" past the Albtrauf into the beautiful old Rottweil (51 km).
Here the road makes a slight curve to the north and leads as a very scenic, winding route along the Black Forest to Horb am Neckar (98 km). On this section, the road was downgraded to state road 424 in early 2016 . In Horb am Neckar, federal highway 14 crossed the Neckar in its upper reaches and then turned to the northeast. This section was rededicated as the B 32 and B 28 at the beginning of 2018 . After 15 kilometers, just before the Rottenburg exit of the A 81 , the federal highway 14 was rededicated for twelve kilometers due to the lower traffic volume and replaced by the provincial road 1184 as far as Herrenberg (130 km) . Now it leads again as federal highway 14 for seven kilometers to the Gärtringen exit (one of the few motorway exits to the left in Germany) of the federal highway 81, where it is replaced for 16 kilometers by the federal highway (from the Stuttgart junction A 831 ) and directly into the State capital Stuttgart (164 km) leads.
At the end of the autobahn, the Stuttgart-Vaihingen exit (153 km), the road becomes Bundesstraße 14 again and runs downhill from the Schattenring as a four-lane new line to Stuttgart-Heslach ; The many tight curves of the old state of development could be alleviated by two tunnels ( Gäubahn and Viereichenhaut tunnel ). From the Stuttgart-Heslach junction, traffic is directed through the older, only two-lane Heslach tunnel into the city center of Stuttgart (Marienplatz and Hauptstätter Straße ).
Shortly after the Universität exit (direction A 81) there is an exit to the left in the direction of Vaihingen-Möhringen industrial area (to Nord-Süd-Straße). A motorway triangle, the Stuttgart-Vaihingen motorway triangle, was once planned here. This can still be seen today on the basis of the route. The junction is now signposted as the Johannesgraben triangle . The A 834 should branch off towards Möhringen . This motorway was never built, instead the north-south road was built on the same route .
Stuttgart - Schwäbisch Hall (A 6)
Section Stuttgart - Waiblingen
As far as the banks of the Neckar, the federal highway 14 in Stuttgart is the main thoroughfare in a west-east direction. The relatively straight continuation through Bad Cannstatt via Fellbach to Waiblingen was once signposted as the B 14. Since 1994, however, Bundesstraße 14 has initially been united with Bundesstraße 10 along the left bank of the Neckar. In an easterly direction out of town, turn right into the Berger Tunnel in the Schwanenplatz tunnel, which was built as an enclosure for the 1977 Federal Horticultural Show between Rosenstein Park and the mineral baths . In the opposite direction, however, after passing the Leuze tunnel on the B 10, you have to turn around at a traffic light or turn sharply left onto the opposite lane, for which three lanes are available. This deficiency should be remedied in the future.
After the common section on the Neckar, the B 14 soon separates from the B 10 and leads over the 1400 m long Neckar Valley Viaduct Untertürkheim , which was released in 1994, directly past the new Mercedes-Benz Museum at the Daimler -Werk Stuttgart- Untertürkheim , to through the 1585 meters long Kappelberg tunnel to bypass the city of Fellbach. Shortly before Waiblingen , the former B 14 from Fellbach joins and after an approximately one kilometer long eight-lane transition area, the federal road 29 branches off into the Remstal. This section between Bundesstrasse 10 and Waiblingen was planned as the B 312 until 1992 .
Waiblingen - Backnang section
Bundesstraße 14 between Waiblingen and Winnenden was expanded to four lanes as early as the 1970s; this section was opened on October 23, 1979. The Winnenden Bypass was not created until the new millennium. The first 1.5 km long section over the Zipfelbachtal bridge to the Winnenden-Mitte junction was released on November 27, 2006 and temporarily designated as federal road 14n . The northern, approx. 3.8 km long section through the 1080 m long Leutenbach Tunnel to the Nellmersbach junction was opened on September 21, 2009.
The planning approval decision for the further expansion of the route via Waldrems and Maubach to Backnang (199 km) has been issued. The section to Backnang should actually be completed for the 2006 World Cup. The clearing work began on November 23, 2009. With additional federal funding for road construction resulting from the higher truck toll in 2009, the start of construction could be brought forward. At the end of May 2010, however, it was announced that the expansion had been postponed until further notice due to the reduced federal funding for the construction of highways. On December 23, 2010 it was announced that the further construction of the 900 m long stretch to Waldrems would start in 2011, but initially without the 135 m long tunnel planned for Waldrems for cost reasons. The investment package, which was announced by Federal Transport Minister Dobrindt on July 21, 2015, includes 10 million euros for the extension to Backnang-Waldrems. At the beginning of 2016, the complete construction phase 1 (subsections 1.1 and 1.2) was finally approved, after subsection 1.1 had already been approved in July 2015. The start of construction for the four-lane expansion to Waldrems (section 1.1) was planned for May 2016, with section 1.2, which also includes the Waldrems tunnel , is to begin in 2019. On June 10, 2016, the symbolic groundbreaking ceremony for the extension from Nellmersbach to Waldrems took place. This section was released after several delays on November 12th and 13th, 2018. Immediately afterwards, further construction to Backnang is to be tackled. Until the Waldrems junction (Waldrems tunnel) is expanded, the section between Nellmersbach and Waldrems will not be free of intersections, but will receive a temporary set of traffic lights.
The city of Backnang is bypassed in a large arc to the west, whereby the railway lines to Waiblingen and Ludwigsburg as well as the district road 1897 to Erbstetten are crossed, and immediately afterwards the Murr is crossed with the Murrtal viaduct . This building, which was provisionally rebuilt in 1948, had to be replaced. Work on a third generation viaduct began in September 2009, to the west of the existing bridge. The opening took place on August 22, 2011. The second bridge for the second carriageway, which is planned at the location of the old viaduct, can probably be built from the beginning of 2020 [obsolete] , since the financial means for the further construction between Waldrems and Backnang-West were released on September 21, 2016. The cost for this section should be around 105 million euros.
Section Backnang - Schwäbisch Hall
The national road 1115 , which branches off from the west to the so-called Backnang crows Bach junction of the B 14 serves as an access road to the A 81 AS Mundelsheim. The planned expansion of the state road is politically controversial, as the neighboring communities Großaspach and Großbottwar fear an increase in the volume of traffic if it can be used in conjunction with the B 14 as a toll-free, spacious northeast bypass from Stuttgart. In addition, agricultural vehicles could no longer use the expanded route. The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Transport announced in March 2013 that the L 1115 would be expanded to four lanes and upgraded to the B 29 , but this did not happen. The B 29 should in future run between Waiblingen and Backnang-West on a joint route with the B 14. In the meantime, these plans were rejected again. On January 3, 2019, the federal government confirmed that the previous state road 1115 is expected to be upgraded to a federal road in 2019. The feeder will in future become part of the B 29 and be expanded to three lanes.
Through Oppenweiler , where the start of the planning approval procedure for a 2.6 km long bypass along the railway line was promised for 2011, and through Sulzbach an der Murr , the federal highway 14 runs in the narrow valley of the Murr. In Sulzbach, the state road 1066 running in the valley has right of way , the B 14, however, turns left and runs as a so-called Sulzbacher Steige up to Großerlach , in order to then cross the valley of the Rot before Mainhardt . This section of the route in the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park is interesting for drivers and has hit the headlines with motorcyclists, regular heavy haulage and truck test drives. From the plateau, the B 14 leads on the "Rote Steige" with a few bends and a more than one kilometer long ramp that runs straight in an easterly direction down to the Hohenlohe plain to Michelfeld and the western suburbs of the old salt and minting town of Schwäbisch Hall (237 km).
There, starting near the intersection of the B 14 with the federal highway 19 coming from the south , a western bypass was created from the western suburbs of Schwäbisch Hall to the north to the A 6, which runs on the alignment of the abandoned federal highway 85 . Since this motorway was rejected, and also a federal road on this route, a district road was built to relieve several town through traffic and the K 2576 was completed on June 6, 2011. The B 14 and B 19 lead together down to Schwäbisch Hall, where work is being carried out on a tunnel to relieve the bottleneck under the railway bridge. In Kochertal , the B 14 once swung east, but since its replacement by the A 6, the B 14 has nominally run north together with the B19 through Gelbingen and Untermünkheim. A good seven kilometers further, after the ascent to the plateau at Wittighausen or Steigenhaus, where the new district road joins, the names separate again, into the B 19 leading northwest to the A 6 AS Kupferzell and the north-east motorway feeder to the A 6 Schwäbisch junction Hall, which is signposted as the B14. De facto, this section of the K 2576 is a gap in the B 14, as well as a cheaper alternative to the B 19 running on the plateau for travelers, which for historical reasons takes the detour via town and valley.
From AS Schwäbisch Hall, federal highway 14 will again be replaced by a federal freeway - this time to Aurach for 45 kilometers by federal freeway 6 . On this stretch of motorway, the road also crosses the state border to Bavaria (288 km). The former B 14 between Schwäbisch Hall and Aurach has been downgraded to state roads 2218 and 1066 . The route led from the plateau east of Schwäbisch Hall over serpentines down into the valley of the Bühler near Cröffelbach and just as curvy back up to Wolpertshausen and further on the plateau via Ilshofen to Crailsheim , as well as via Feuchtwangen to the A 6 junction in Aurach.
Ansbach - Waidhaus
The B 14 continues in Ansbach (309 km) branching off from federal highway 13 . It leads to Stein , where it turns into the traffic of the largest Franconian city, Nuremberg (345 km) at a roundabout . There, 14 hits the B southwest of the Main-Danube Canal and the Südwesttangente with the B 2 together. Together, the two federal highways flow as Schweinauer Hauptstraße into the ring road B 4R , which the B 14 in the east as Äußere Sulzbacher Straße and later Erlenstegenstraße again in the direction of Lauf a. d. Pegnitz leaves. The city of Lauf is bypassed on a section of the A 9 between the junction of Lauf and Lauf / Hersbruck. In the further course the industrial area Bräunleinsberg is affected and the place Reichenschwand is crossed. The city of Hersbruck is bypassed with a bypass road signposted as a motor vehicle . There are several exits and a roundabout in this section. The main road continues through Hersbrucker Schweiz to Sulzbach-Rosenberg (394 km). The road leads further up over the Naab (430 km) into the Upper Palatinate / Bavarian Forest Nature Park . The last stretch is the 34 kilometers to the Waidhaus border station and the Czech Republic as a federal road that is still used by many trucks . In the years 1938 to 1945 what was then Reichsstraße 14 was extended to the Sudetenland and then via Pilsen through the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia to the Vltava River in Prague (similar to the old Golden Road or "forbidden road").
In the course of the new construction of the A 6 motorway, which has taken over the function of the B 14 as an international trunk road towards the Czech Republic ( E 50 ), the last 20 km long section of the federal road in the course of the new motorway opened up or became a district or State road graded. Since then, the federal road has ended at junction 27 (Wernberg-Köblitz) of the A 93 . The old Waidhaus border crossing has only been used for car border traffic since the Waidhaus / Rozvadov motorway border crossing was opened.
The total length of the federal highway 14 is 464 kilometers. From this one would have to deduct the twelve kilometers of the state road and 81 kilometers of the federal highway, which replaced the old federal highway 14 on various intermediate routes.
history
origin
The connection between the former imperial cities of Nuremberg and Prague was elevated to the imperial road in the 14th century and called Via Carolina . This historic route was identified as part of the R 14 when the Reichsstrasse was numbered.
The road between Backnang and Schwäbisch Hall was expanded into a road in 1848 .

Previous routes and names
The trunk road 14 (FVS 14) introduced in 1932 , renamed Reichsstrasse 14 (R 14) in 1934, originally led from Stuttgart to the Czechoslovakian border from 1934 according to Conti-Atlas, but was extended to its current length from Lake Constance around 1937. Among other things, eight Württemberg state roads (as of 1886) were linked under a common road number:
| State road | length | course |
|---|---|---|
| No. 83 | 52.9 km | Stockach - Rottweil (- Tübingen - Stuttgart) |
| No. 86 | 51.0 km | Rottweil - Horb - Ergenzingen (- Tübingen) |
| No. 93 | 11.6 km | Ergenzingen - Herrenberg |
| No. 99 | 36.2 km | (Freudenstadt -) Herrenberg - Stuttgart |
| No. 36 | 8.4 km | Stuttgart - Waiblingen (- Aalen) |
| No. 21 | 48.9 km | Waiblingen - Schwäbisch Hall |
| No. 22 | 28.9 km | Schwäbisch Hall - Crailsheim |
| No. 23 | 8.8 km | Crailsheim - Ansbach |
After the occupation of the Sudetenland by the German Reich in October 1938, the R 14 was extended to Haid (connection to Reichsstraße 92 ) or Pilsen ( Reichsstraße 11 ), after the forcible occupation of the rest of the Czech territories in March 1939 to Prague .
Traffic development
The traffic load measured by censuses decreased steadily from 2005 to 2015. With over 97,500 vehicles entering the Stuttgart basin, measured on a counting day in May 2015, it is the most heavily used road in the basin.
