history

The Waldviertler Straße near Maria Dreieichen (January 2018)

In 1834 the Prager Reichsstraße had nine toll stations in Schwarzbach, Schrems, Schwarzenau, Stegersbach, Göpfritz, Horn (at the two city gates), Maissau and Weikersdorf, which brought in around 16,000 guilders for the state treasury .

The Horner Strasse between Stockerau and the state border near Nagelberg was one of the former imperial roads that were taken over as federal roads in 1921 . Until 1938 Horner Straße was designated as B 3, after the connection of Austria , Horner Straße was part of Reichsstraße 170 until 1945 .

The Eggenburger Straße between Horn and Schöngrabern belonged to the network of federal highways in Austria from January 1st, 1950 .

According to the Federal Roads Act of 1971, the Waldviertel expressway S 3 was supposed to replace Eggenburger and Horner Straße.

Until 1999 this street number was used for the route from Hollabrunn to the Czech state border near Kleinhaugsdorf , which was called "Znaimer Straße". This is now part of the B 303, while today's B 2 belonged to the B 303 until then.
