The Federal Highway 6 (abbreviated B6) is a German federal highway and leads from Bremerhaven on the North Sea coast in a southeasterly direction through the states of Lower Saxony, Bremen, Saxony -Anhalt and Saxony to Görlitz on the Polish border.

History

The former National Highway 6 (R 6) led by Goerlitz more about Hirschberg and Schweidnitz to Wroclaw and from there via Oels to the former Polish border with the United Wartenberg.

Between Leipzig and Görlitz the Federal Highway 6 follows largely ( with the exception of the sheet over Meissen, Dresden and Bischofswerda ) the historical course of the Via Regia.

1937, the road from Wesermünde about Langen to Cuxhaven was declared a National Highway 6.

In GDR times, was located on the territory of the GDR section highway 6 (F 6). On this road was within the Dresdner urban area the premises of VEB tobacco Kontor Dresden, which is now referred to again as Yenidze. From which, however inaccurate legend has arisen that the road should have been named after the cigarette brand " f6 " at the same time.

The opening of the A27 mid to late 1970s between Cuxhaven and Bremen -Nord ( formerly of Bremen - Burglesum ) B 6 has been replaced by the A 27 as a federal highway. Until then, the B 6 linked the two cities of Bremen and Bremerhaven, the State of Bremen and made ​​the connection to Cuxhaven ago.

The former course in Cuxhaven from the beginning (crossing Post Road / Dike Road ), with the exception of Rohde road was reclassified as B 73 after the construction of the A27 to the junction of the motorway feeder road junction Altenwalde. The further course was to Bremen with the exception of a short length in Bremerhaven from national road 135

The course was in 2013 in Bremerhaven graded n / Frederikshavn road into the Weser River Street and the city limits to the public road up to the 300 meters measured section between the confluence of the B 71.

The B 6 begins in the city of Bremerhaven at the confluence of Frederikshavn Street ( the beginning of the B 71). She leads two lanes southbound, happened after about 300 meters the border to Lower Saxony and ends at the first junction Bremerhaven -South of A 27

Bremen - Nienburg - Hannover

After the portion between Bremerhaven and Bremen was replaced by the A27, the B 6 is only on the AS Bremen Overseas City (formerly of Bremen - free ports ) continue on the feeder road Bremen-Freihäfen/-Überseestadt, Flyover Utbremer roundabout Utbremer tunnel and north-west node Bremen Bremen -Mitte ( formerly thought of as A 282 ). In the course of Stephani bridge ( crossing the Weser Bremen) B is 6 to the Middle Ring B 2 R in Munich the busiest federal highway in Germany, approximately 100,000 vehicles per day ( road traffic census of 2005). In the further course between the terminal B 75 and Bremen- Kattenturm it is widened to four lanes. Since she is here extremely astonished prone, it is currently being replaced by a new building of the A281 (Ring Bremen).

From the exit Bremen- Kattenturm it divides into the federal highway 6 and the B 6n four lanes and crossing-free leads as highway offshoot similar to the A 1 (AS Bremen- Arsten ). The B 6 leads to the southern outskirts of Bremen, where they are now as a bypass around the suburb Stuhr- Brinkum, which was dominated until then by long traffic jams, around leads. In the further course, however, it does not go through Syke, where also planned a ring road, a building currently in sight.

About Asendorf and Wietzen the B 6 then leads to Nienburg / Weser, where it crosses the Weser for the second time. From Nienburg to Hanover B 6 is widened to four lanes since June 2009. In Hanover, the B 6 first proceeds through Westschnellweg ( with Kaiser fork), then take the southern, and finally the Messeschnellweg before leaving the city in Laatzen on restart of the A 37 heading south to Hildesheim.
