List of federal highways in Germany

The following is a list of the German federal highways or Bundesstraßen. This does not include the autobahns.

Numbering system

The Bundesstraßen do not have a numbering system like that used for German autobahns (motorways), but they do have a clockwise regional numbering system:

• B 1 to B 10 across Germany from border to border
• B 11 to B 26 in Southeastern Germany (Bavaria)
• B 27 to B 39 in Southwestern Germany (Baden-Württemberg)
• B 40 to B 53 in Southwestern Germany (Rhineland-Palatinate)
• B 54 to B 68 in Western Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia)
• B 69 to B 83 in Northern Germany (Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein)
• B 84 to B 100 in Central Germany (Saxony and Thuringia)
• B 101 to B 112 in Northeastern Germany (Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern)
• R 113 to R 125 in Pomerania and Silesia (no longer in Germany)
• R 126 to R 138 in East Prussia (no longer in Germany)
• B 139 to B 327 were assigned in 1937 in a similar way (but counterclockwise, beginning in East Prussia)
• B 328 to B 432 were assigned during World War II in territories occupied by Germany, including Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, France, Belgium etc. Most of them no longer exist, notable exceptions include the Bundesstraße 378 and the Bundesstraße 388.
• B 399 to B 535 were assigned after 1950 in chronological order
