course
The street begins in Salzburg- Gnigl , on the eastern edge of the city, where it branches off from the B1 , Wiener Straße , here called Linzer Bundesstraße . Up to the city limits it is first named Minnesheimstrasse , then Grazer Bundesstrasse . In the Gnigler Tal in Obergnigl , between Heuberg and Kühberg am Gaisberg, it has two hairpin bends with which it overcomes the ascent to Guggenthal . There the Gaisbergstraße (L108) leads to the Gaisberg summit . Via Unterkoppl , with the L245 Eugendorferberg Straße to Eugendorf and the West Autobahn (A1), and L220 Plainfelder Straße as branches, it leads to the upper Plainfelder Bach . Here the L107 Wiestal Landesstraße branches off to Hallein , and the access to the Salzburgring , the only racing track in western Austria. The B158 then climbs to Hof . Shortly before entering the town, the L117 Enzersberg Straße branches off to Thalgau and the A1 at Elsenwang , and after the long street village of Hof bei Baderluck, the L202 Hinterseer Straße .
The Wolfgangsee Straße reaches the Fuschlsee at Schloss Fuschl / Jagdhof , leads along it and passes the village of Fuschl . The street name here is Dorfstraße . It then crosses over the St. Gilgener Berg (Einsiedl, approx. 760 m above sea level ) and down to St. Gilgen am Wolfgangsee and into the Wolfgang / Ischl valley .
The B154 Mondsee Straße from Mondsee joins the northern edge of Sankt Gilgen . Here the street is called Hochreithstraße . From St. Gilgen- Lueg to Franzosenschanze , the route leads directly between the lake and the steep north faces of the Zwölferhorn . Then the wide Zinkenbach peninsula begins near Abersee . At the eastern end of the lake, the B158 passes Strobl , at Weißenbach the L116 / L546 St. Wolfganger Straße branches off to Sankt Wolfgang . The B158 follows the Ischler Ache . At Aigen / Ramsau ( Wacht , km 44.6) the road crosses the Salzburg – Upper Austria border. It runs past the Ischl districts of Haiden and Pfandl and through a quarry . Here in Bad Ischl the street is called Salzburger Straße .
Between Kalvarienberg and Jainzenberg the Ischler Ache has a narrow valley into the Ischler basin . This is where the Ischl West junction is located (continue along Salzburger Straße to the center ). The B154 crosses the Ischler Ache as a bypass and has a 680 m long tunnel, the Kaiserpark tunnel through the Jainzenberg. Immediately afterwards, at the Ischl confluence with the Traun, the Bad Ischl-Mitte / Ost junction follows , with which Wolfgangsee Straße joins Salzkammergut Straße (B145), which leads from Trautenfels in the Styrian Ennstal to Vöcklabruck.
history
The road from Salzburg to Ischl has always been part of the long-distance road via Salzkammergut - Ausseerland - Ennstal to Styria , which at least goes back to Roman times. In the middle of modern times it was called Salzburger Strasse on the Grazer Strasse ( Grazer Poststrasse , from 1816 Grazer Reichsstrasse ), and on the Upper Austrian side Ischler Strasse. Since early modern times there have been four toll stations on the road in Hof , St. Gilgen- Lueg (Litzlwand) , on the Zinkenbach bridge (today Abersee) and on the Wacht bridge near Strobl ( customs office on the Salzburg border with Austria ), those of the prince-archbishops The state treasury recently brought in around 1,220 guilders per year. It was also known as the Eisenstrasse , via it the Styrian iron came to the north, whereas the salt trade, in which the Ischl salt was in tough competition with the Salzburg salt , was subject to strict restrictions. However, because the steep walls at St. Gilgen (Gamswand and Litzlwand near Lueg / Franzosenschanze) were difficult to pass until the early 18th century, the pilgrims were transported to Sankt Wolfgang, as was the transport of iron (iron defeat in Strobl) for 300 years on this stage primarily by ship .
During the French wars in 1809 the bottleneck at the Lueger mill at the western end of the Zinkenbach peninsula was fortified; this location is now called the Franzosenschanze .
With the connection of Salzburg to Austria, the road was taken over as Reichsstraße from 1816 and as a federal road in 1921. Until 1938 this was called Bundesstraße B 36 , after the connection of Austria it was run as part of Reichsstraße 304 until 1945 .
Since April 1, 1948, this street has been uniformly referred to as Wolfgangsee Street in both federal states . The Grazer Bundesstrasse section within the Salzburg city area is reminiscent of the old name . The name Minnesheimstrasse there refers to Minnesheim Castle in Gnigl. This street was laid out in 1936 as a relief street, the old Grazerstraße ran directly on the Alterbach and is still called that way as a narrow street.
From Sankt Gilgen from 1890 to 1957 the Ischlerbahn (Salzkammergut-Lokalbahn, SKGLB) ran parallel to Wolfgangseestrasse, the current route is partly on the old route. At that time, the St. Gilgner Berg was also redrawn, the old road ran through the town centers of Laim , Pöllach and Reit . In Bad Ischl, Strobl (1989) and St. Gilgen (Zentrum-Lueg, 1992 on the old Ischlerbahntrasse, with the B154 roundabout) bypasses have been established, Hof has two roundabouts (Elsenwang, Baderluck). The Ischl bypass, including the Kaiserpark tunnel and junctions, was built in 1980–84, and the tunnel was completely refurbished in 2013–15.

| B158 | The Wolfgangsee Straße was like the other former federal highways in the federal administration. Since April 1, 2002, it has been under state administration and continues to have the B in the number, but not the name Bundesstraße. |
