Course

Stockach - Stuttgart

It starts at the edge of Stockach, about five kilometers from the northwest corner of Lake Constance. From here it leads first in a northwesterly direction through the Upper Danube Nature Park to Tuttlingen (23 km), where it crosses the young Danube. Now she leads you on scenic route as " German Clock Road " at the escarpment past the attractive old Rottweil ( 51 km).

Here the road makes a slight curve to the north and performs as a very scenic winding route along the Black Forest to Horb am Neckar (98 km). Here the Neckar River crosses the highway 14 in its upper reaches and bends it to the northeast. After 15 kilometers, just before the exit Rottenburg the A81, the main road was redesignated 14 due to the lower volume of traffic to twelve kilometers from national road and to Herrenberg (130 km ) is replaced by the country road in 1184. Now she leads again as federal highway 14 to seven kilometers in length to exit Gaertringen ( one of the few highway exits to the left in Germany ) the Federal Highway 81, where it is replaced to 16 kilometers through the Federal Highway (from junction Stuttgart A 831 ) and directly in the City of Stuttgart (164 km) leads.

At the end of the motorway, exit Stuttgart -Vaihingen (153 km), the road is again the main road and 14 leads from the shadow ring downhill as a four-lane new line to Stuttgart- Heslach; the many tight curves of the old expansion state could be mitigated through two tunnels ( Gäubahn and Viereichenhautunnel ). From the junction Stuttgart- Heslach the traffic is routed through the older, only two-lane Heslacher tunnel in the city center of Stuttgart (Marienplatz and Hauptstätter road).

Shortly after the University exit (direction A81 ) there is an exit on the left towards the industrial area Vaihingen -Möhringen ( the north -south road). Here is a motorway junction, the motorway junction Stuttgart -Vaihingen was planned once. This can be seen even today a good indication of the route. The branch is now marked as a triangle Johannesgraben. Direction Möhringen should branch off the A 834. This highway was never built, the north-south road was instead on the same route built.

Stuttgart - Schwäbisch Hall ( A 6)

By the banks of the Neckar, the federal highway 14 in Stuttgart, the main thoroughfare in west-east direction dar. was once the relatively signposted just continued through Bad Cannstatt Fellbach to Waiblingen as B 14. Since 1994, however, the federal highway 14 runs at first united with the federal highway 10 on the left bank of the Neckar along. 1977-built housing as Schwanenplatz tunnel between the Rosenstein Park and the mineral baths is out of town in an easterly direction for it in the Federal Garden Show turned right into the tunnel Berger. In the opposite direction, however, must be according to the Leuze tunnel on the B 10 pass turned at a traffic light or be deflected into the opposite lane sharp left, for which three lanes are available. This grievance should be resolved in the future.

After the common section at the Neckar, the B 14 separates soon of the B 10 and leads a long time about the 1400 m, 1994 shared Neckar Viaduct Untertürkheim right on the new Mercedes -Benz Museum at the Daimler factory in Stuttgart- Untertürkheim over to meters by 1585 Kappelberg long tunnel to bypass the town of Fellbach. Shortly before Waiblingen the former B switch, add 14 from Fellbach and after about a kilometer long eight-lane crossing area branches off the main road 29 from the Rems valley. This section between the main road and 10 Waiblingen had been planned until 1992 as B 312.

Between Waiblingen Winnenden and the federal highway 14 has been widened to four lanes already in the 1970s, this section was released on 23 October 1979. The circumvention of Winnenden was created only in the new millennium. The first 1.5 km long section on the corner of Valley Bridge to the junction Winnenden Center was released on 27 November 2006 and referred to temporarily as federal highway 14n. The northern approx. 3,8 km long section through the 1080 m long tunnel people stream to the junction Nellmersbach was opened on 21 September 2009.

The plan approval decision for the further route expansion over Waldrems and Untermaubach to Backnang (199 km) is adopted. Actually, the section should be completed by Backnang World Cup 2006. On 23 November 2009, the clearing work began. Through additional federal funding for roads, resulting from the higher truck tolls in 2009, the start of construction could be brought forward. End of May 2010 was, however, announced that the expansion has been postponed due to the reduced allocations of the federal government for highway construction until further notice. On 23 December 2010 it was announced that yet to be started in 2011 with the continued construction of the 900 m long track to Waldrems, but for cost reasons, first without the planned for Waldrems 135 m long tunnel.

The town is bypassed Backnang west in a wide arc, the Murr is crossed by Murrtalviadukt. In 1948, temporarily re- made structure to be replaced by a total of two new bridges. The work on a new viaduct was begun in September 2009, to the west adjacent to the existing bridge. The opening took place on August 22, 2011. The second bridge for the second carriageway, which is planned on the site of the old viaduct will only be built when funds for the further construction between Waldrems and Backnang- West are released.

The country road in 1115, which branches off to the west of Backnang on the so-called Krähenbach intersection of the B 14, serves as the access road to the A81 AS Mundelsheim. The planned expansion of the main road is a political issue because the riparian communities Großaspach and Großbottwar an increase in traffic worry about if it can be used in conjunction with the B 14 as a toll-free long-range north-east bypass of Stuttgart. Furthermore, increases in agricultural vehicles the developed route is no longer busy. The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Transport announced in March 2013, however, known that L 1115 is a four-lane expanded and upgraded to B 29. The B 29 is run in the future between Waiblingen and Backnang- West on a common line with the B 14.

By Oppenweiler where the beginning of the planning approval process was provided for a 2.6 km long ring road along the railway line expected in 2011, and by Sulzbach an der Murr State Road 14 runs in the narrow valley of the Murr here. In the Sulzbach running in the valley country road 1066 right of way, the B 14, however, turns left and runs as so-called Sulzbacher increase to Großerlach uphill to then pass through the valley of the Red Main ago Hardt. This driving skills interesting stretch, in the Swabian -Franconian Forest is in the headlines by motorcyclists, through regular heavy transport and truck test drives. From the plateau the B 14 leads to an over one kilometer long, just to the east straight ramp running down to the Hohenlohe plain and in the western suburbs of the old salt and mint city of Schwäbisch Hall (237 km).

There, starting near the intersection of B 14 with the coming of South Federal Highway 19, a western bypass of Schwäbisch Hall by construction of the new K 2576 was created, which runs on the routing of the discarded Federal Highway 85 and was completed on June 6, 2011. The B 14 and B 19 are jointly down to Schwäbisch Hall and in the Kocher along by Gelbingen and Untermünkheim. Good seven kilometers further north, at Wittighausen or climbing house, the county road rejoins the northwest to the A 6 AS copper cell leading B 19 and on the leading north-east motorway access on the A 6 AS Schwäbisch Hall, which is marked as B 14. There, the federal highway 14 will be replaced by a motorway - this time to Herzogenaurach to 45 kilometers through the Federal Highway 6 On this portion of the highway exceeds the road and the border to Bavaria (288 km).

The former B 14 between Schwäbisch Hall and Herzogenaurach was downgraded to the country's roads in 2218 and 1066. The route led from the plateau east of Schwäbisch Hall via switchbacks down into the valley of the Buhler at Croeffelbach and equally curvy back up to Wolpertshausen and on about Ilshofen, Crailsheim and wet cheeks to A 6 - junction Herzogenaurach.

Herzogenaurach ( A 6) - Waidhaus

From the junction Herzogenaurach B 14 leads to the Middle Franconian town of Ansbach district ( 309 km ) - where it meets the main road 13 - the natural park of Franconia past to the Franconia's largest city, Nuremberg (345 km). There she meets south along the Main- Danube Canal and the southwest tangent with the B 2. Together, the two lead federal roads as Schweinauer main street in the ring road B 4R, leaving the B 14 in the East Outer Sulzbacher Straße and later Erlenstegenstraße back towards Lauf ad Pegnitz. The City Run is moved around on a section of the A9 between junctions barrel and barrel / Hersbruck. Later in the Gerwerbegebiet Bräunleinsberg is affected and crosses the place Reichenschwand. The city Hersbruck is bypassed with a signposted as a dual carriageway bypass. In this section there are several exits and a roundabout. The federal highway continues through the Hersbrucker Switzerland to Sulzbach -Rosenberg ( 394 km ). Further up the road passes over the Naab (430 miles) in the Natural Park of the Upper Palatinate / Bavarian Forest. The last piece is still frequented by many as lorries federal road 34 miles to the border station Waidhaus and the Czech Republic.

During the construction of the motorway A 6, which has taken over the function of the B 14 as an international trunk road towards the Czech Republic (E 50), went on an eight -kilometer stretch of the main road in the route of the new motorway or has graduated to the main road. Since then, the federal road ends at the confluence with the B 22 at Wiesel Rieth at junction 72 ( Leuchtenberg ), to begin further to the east in Vohenstrauß, close to junction 74 ( Vohenstrauß -east) again and to lead to the old Waidhaus, which since its opening the highway border crossing Waidhaus / Rozvadov only car - border traffic is used.

The total length of the national highway 14 is 464 km. Subtract one would have the twelve km country road and 69 km motorway, through which the old national road 14 has been replaced at various intermediate routes.

Earlier routes and designations

The 1932 introduced highway 14 ( FVS 14), renamed in 1934 in Reichsstrasse 14 (R 14), originally introduced according to Conti - Atlas of 1934 from Stuttgart to the Czechoslovak border, but was about 1937 extended to its present length from Lake Constance. There have been linked to, among other things eight Württemberg state roads ( according to the state of 1886) under a common street number:

After the occupation of the Sudetenland by the German Reich in October 1938, the R was extended from 14 to Haid (connected to National Highway 92 ) or Pilsen ( National Highway 11), after the violent occupation of the remaining Czech territories in March 1939 to Prague.
