history
On June 1, 1782, the Danish King Christian VII commissioned the construction of a freight road between Rendsburg and Altona . The commissioned Royal Canal Commission should build the way at the expense of the Canal-Casse and use existing roads for the new connection. The aim of the project was a shorter connection to the then new Eider Canal (built 1777-1784) so " to direct the freight traffic from Hamburg to Rendsburg and then to move the goods on the canal to the Baltic Sea, so to increase the canal trade, and this so." profitable. ".

The Altona - Rendsburg route has been shortened by a total of 3 miles (approx. 22.5 km) to approx. 97 km. The new connection over the Buckener Au from Heinkenborstel to Innien contributed significantly to the almost 20 percent reduction in the route, as the Buckener Au could only be crossed free of charge between Meezen and Grauel . The so-called Buckener dam between Aukrug -Homfeld and Hohenwestedt indeed existed since 1759, but was one -way money requiring private road. In order to reach the newly built dam over the Buckener Au without detours from Hamburg, after crossing the Stör Bridge in droves of wills, completely new roads were also built between Sarlhusen and Aukrug-Bargfeld and between Aukrug-Bargfeld and -Innien. As a result, traffic no longer used the so-called Great Hamburg Landstrasse from Rendsburg via Jevenstedt and Hohenwestedt , which came from Hamburg via Fitzbek , Hennstedt , Meezen, Grauel to Hohenwestedt and whose route from then on roughly corresponded to the course of today's B77 to Rendsburg.
According to Georg Reimer, the expectations regarding the use of the transit route were not fulfilled, as land transport to Rendsburg was more expensive than the sea route via the North Sea, Eider and Eider Canal. On August 29, 1786 , a royal poster forbade the transit route with goods subject to customs clearance and at the same time closed it to postal traffic . The transit route only experienced an increase in traffic during the British blockade of the Elbe from 1803 to 1806, as the goods that had previously been imported via the port of Hamburg now had to make their way via the usable port of Tönning , the Eider to Rendsburg and the transit route to Hamburg. From 1819 to 1823 there was a legal dispute between the villages of Innien, Mörel and Heinkenborstel with the Rendsburg office over the distribution of the construction load that had been transferred to them during the construction. On September 2, 1823, the Royal Schleswig-Holstein Chancellery in Glückstadt ruled in favor of the residents " that the transit route through the Feldmark of the village of Innien should be maintained by the Rendsburg office up to a general division of the route. "
From 1828, the way for the general public without was Wegzoll released and large ox pastures of Jutland use the new shorter distance from Rendsburg to Hamburg as an alternative to the historic Ox Road . Around 1938 surveying teams examined whether the route of the transit route would be suitable for the planned north-south motorway. The motorway was built further east near Wasbek in 1970 .
