Significance of the Hitler’s Highway with Regard to Traffic Safety, Historical and Cultural Heritage

Original language description

The purpose of the study is to describe and recognize the reasons, purpose, original construction plans and failure during the completion of the highway, which, according to the plans of the German builders, was originally supposed to follow the highway from Germany and Poland and go through the territory of our country from Wrocław to Vienna, when this constructed highway known as the so-called Hitler’s highway was supposed to be important for the safety and acceleration of road transport, tourism and the transport of goods across Central Europe. Some sections of the highway under construction still fulfil their purpose, while others, on the other hand, have become a torso and a permanent remnant of the construction. The idea of building a Germany-funded highway in the 1940s laid the foundations that are still relevant to the Czech historical and cultural heritage today. The authors will examine the extent of the heritage for tourism, evaluate the idea of building such a road link between Berlin and Vienna, and further describe the background of the construction and non-completion of the highway from the perspective of the political and historical events of the time. The paper will contain the main findings after the qualitative and quantitative analysis, the conclusion of the paper will be an interpretation of the findings and a proposal for further benefits not only for the safety when travelling through the middle of Europe, which one of the greatest mass murderers in world history decided to build.
