Bundesautobahn 44, Motorway in North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse, Germany

The Bundesautobahn 44 stretches from the Belgian border near Aachen through the Ruhr region to Kassel, covering a distance of 327 kilometers.

Initial sections of the A44 opened in the early 1960s near Kassel and Aachen, with subsequent segments added throughout following decades to improve regional connectivity.

Between Geseke and Büren, a section of the A44 functioned as a United States Air Force military airstrip during Cold War operations.

Regular service stations along the motorway provide fuel, food services, and rest facilities for travelers moving between western and central Germany.

The A44 required reconstruction near Garzweiler II when open-pit coal mining activities impacted its original route through North Rhine-Westphalia.
