Bundesautobahn 100, Urban motorway in Berlin, Germany
Bundesautobahn 100 is an urban motorway running through central Berlin, stretching roughly 21 kilometers and linking several city districts. It extends from Wedding in the north through Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf and Tempelhof-Schöneberg down to Neukölln in the southeast.
Work on this motorway began in April 1956 as part of rebuilding efforts after the Second World War, with the first stretch opening to traffic in 1958. Additional sections were completed over the following decades, gradually expanding the city's motorway network.
The motorway's route through diverse Berlin districts reflects the city's transportation needs while connecting residential areas, commercial centers, and industrial zones.
The stretch between the Funkturm and Kurfürstendamm interchanges sees more than 190,000 vehicles each day, making it the busiest motorway segment in Germany. Traffic jams are common during morning and evening rush hours.
The route follows a path largely parallel to the inner circle line of the Berlin S-Bahn, forming a double transport network through the city center. Both systems cross at several key junctions along the way.
