Bundesautobahn 1, Federal motorway in northern Germany.
The A1 stretches across seven German states, connecting the Baltic Sea port of Heiligenhafen with the city of Saarbrücken near the French border.
Initial segments of the A1 motorway opened between 1936 and 1940, linking major northern cities like Bremen, Hamburg, and Lübeck during Germany's infrastructure expansion.
The A1 follows the path of medieval trade routes, earning its nickname 'Hanseatic Route' due to its connection of former Hanseatic League trading cities.
The motorway features numerous service stations, rest areas, and fuel stops positioned every 30 to 60 kilometers along its 748-kilometer length.
The Kamen Interchange, where A1 intersects with A2 northeast of Dortmund, functions as a central transport hub for north-south and east-west traffic flows.
