History

Earlier routes and designations

The Prussian State Road No. 84b between Stendal, Tangermünde and Fischbeck was 1844-1847 to join in Stendal to the then newly built State Road 85 ( part of today's B 107) between Genthin and Havel mountain. The middle section from Stendal to Wolfsburg was built 1853-1855 as a circular highway that was built solely at the expense of the counties involved. Only after the construction of the Tangermünder Elbbrücke in 1933 this road was navigable throughout.

Reichsstrasse 188 1936-1949

In 1936 the entire route was rededicated to the National Highway 188. The aim was to better link the then still being planned city of Wolfsburg. Due to the German division after the Second World War, this road was interrupted between Oebisfelde and Velpke. The demarcation was carried out at the level of Velpker Good Büstedt, directly on the Aller.
