The Steinamangerer road B 63 is a main road in Austria . It runs over a length of 43.6 km from the south A 2 motorway in Pinggau along the Pinka to Oberwart and from there to the state border to Hungary near Schachendorf . The street is named after the town of Szombathely (German: Steinamanger ), which is located in the continuation of Steinamangerer Straße on the Hungarian side.

history

Burgenland belonged to Hungary until 1921 . All roads in southern Burgenland were oriented towards the county capital Steinamanger ( Szombathely ). The route from Steinamanger via Oberwart to the Styrian town of Friedberg was therefore run as a Hungarian state road in 1854.

The Steinamangerstraße from Oberwart to the new state border near Schachendorf was added to the Austrian federal road network in 1923. The continuing Burgenland section between Oberwart and Sinnersdorf has been part of the network of regional roads in Burgenland since July 1, 1926 and was then known as Oberwart-Pinggauer Straße . The Styrian section between Pinggau and Sinnersdorf, on the other hand, was declared a rival road in 1926 . In Austrian legal language, competition refers to the joint financing of a project by various institutions. In this case, the state of Styria paid 70% of the construction costs, while the Hartberg district had to bear 30% of the construction costs itself.

In the course of job creation measures, the section between Oberwart and Groß-Petersdorf was expanded into a modern road from 1937.

After the annexation of Austria , Steinamangerstraße was run as part of Reichsstraße  345 until 1945 . During the Second World War, the section between Pinkafeld and Oberwart was used as a landing and take-off runway for combat aircraft.

After 1990 a bypass was built near Großpetersdorf and the former serpentine between Großpetersdorf and Dürnbach was rebuilt. The gap from the A 2 to the border was closed by bypassing Dürnbach and Schachendorf . Length: 8.3 km, construction period: October 2005 to August 11, 2008 .
