Bundesautobahn 6, Federal motorway in southern Germany
The Bundesautobahn 6 extends for 477 kilometers from Saarbrücken at the French border to Waidhaus near the Czech Republic border.
Construction of the motorway started in 1938, with some sections repurposed during World War II, including a segment near Kaiserslautern that served as a Luftwaffe airstrip.
The name Via Carolina reflects the motorway's role in connecting different regions across multiple German states, forming part of the European route network.
The highway incorporates numerous service stations with restaurants, fuel stations, and rest areas positioned at regular intervals throughout the entire route.
The Kocher Viaduct, located between Heilbronn and Nuremberg, stands 185 meters high, making it the tallest bridge structure in the German motorway system.
