Autobahn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | All autobahns are named by using the capital letter "A" followed by a blank and a number (for example "A 8"). |
 | | The idea for the construction of the Autobahn was first conceived during the days of the Weimar Republic, but apart from the AVUS in Berlin, construction was slow, and most projected sections did not progress much beyond the planning stage due to economic problems and a lack of political support. |
 | | The autobahns in East Germany (GDR) and the former German provinces of East Prussia, eastern Pomerania and Silesia in Poland and the Soviet Union after 1945 were grossly neglected in comparison to those in West Germany and Western Europe in general. |
