!Hello, the official name is "Bundesautobahn", short: "BAB". Maybe somebody can fix it, my english is to bead to do it, sorry.
- The article deals not only with the German BAB, but also with Autobahns in other countries, so no change there. IMHO it does not make sense to have separated articles for this. I'll add the official name somewhere in the article --Chrysalis 03:41, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- In Germany, Autobahn and Bundesautobahn are terms with different legal meanings. "Autobahn" (motorway) means that the road is marked with , which invokes special rules from the German Road Traffic Code (Straßenverkehrsordnung), e.g. regarding speed limits, no parking, etc. OTOH, "Bundesautobahn" (federal motorway) means that it has been dedicated as such, which invokes certain laws on construction and maintanance. Usually, both terms apply to given a strech of highway but there are some roads that are a Autobahn but no Bundesautobahn and vice-versa. -- 3247 21:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Here we have it again: The myth that that Nazis invented the Autobahn...
The first Autobahn (called AVUS in Berlin) was completed 1921.
The term Autobahn was first used 1926 by Robert Otzen (the chairman of a Road constructiong company ?)

The first real Autobahn (20 km long) connecting Köln and Bonn was completed the 6. August 1932.
