State:
The Federal Highway 103 (abbreviated as BAB 103) - Short form: Highway 103 (abbreviated as A 103 ) - connects the Berlin ring road ( A 100) from the cross Schöneberg with the Steglitzer gyro and is a pure city motorway.
The A 103 takes in its full length on the federal road 1, until the early 1970s on the historic stretch of road running parallel to the main road - Castle road led - Rhine road. To relieve the districts Friedenau and Steglitz from the heavy traffic it was pivoted on the A 103.
The A 103 was part of the plans of the west bypass. According to the Land Use Plan ( LUP ) from 1965 for West Berlin to be created north, south, east and west bypass should affect the interpretable as a geographical circular figure historic center of Berlin, respectively. Here, the A 103 would have been built further north on the highway stump junction Sachsendamm addition. The planned route would have led the motorway tunnel through the Tiergarten Spree sheet (TTS ) or the bypass road to the motorway interchange at Lehrter station, where a connection to the A 107 should be made . A little further north on the cross street Amrumer the A 103 would be passed into the A 105. There would also be a link to the A100 emerged. Metro Station Amrumer street contains structural inputs. So in many parts of the station, the ceiling is lower, as prepared above a motorway tunnel. At the temple Ufer a cross was provided with the formerly planned A 106.
The plans to Westtangente were from the beginning the goal of civic protests. 1974 constituted the city planners to this day active " citizens' initiative Westtangente " after the traffic planners were moved away after strong protests from Kreuzberg and Neukölln Citizens of the prime realization of the A 106. In the 1990s the then Berlin Senate ultimately ended the plan projects and already established inner city highway sections were downgraded to mere tributaries, including the matching end A 105 for connection to the A111 in the direction of Hamburg, which was originally to form the northern part of the west bypass.
From 1975 until German reunification, the highway carried the designation " A 13 ".
Special
With the opening of the A 103 motorway were built such as the ring road, with several expansions for bus stops at the edge of the BVG to do with the bus mode ( line 84) who was then operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn Wannseebahn competition. The stations were located in the amount of:
- AS Saarstraße,
- AS Filandastrasse and at the
- Albrechtstraße ( Rathaus Steglitz ).
Following the acquisition of the S -Bahn in West Berlin by the BVG and recommissioning of the Wannsee train line S1 as of May 1, 1985, the bus service to the city highway 103 is set, the stations were abandoned and partially dismantled. They were accessible by stairs or short pedestrian tunnel from the respective streets. A staircase at the Albrechtstraße is now used as an art gallery.
The western staircase at the Joachim Tiburtius bridge (AS Filandastrasse ) is used as access to Düppelstraße for the coming of the Filandastrasse sidewalk.
