is an
autobahn in
Berlin,
Germany. It connects the
Berliner Stadtring with the
Berliner Ring, using parts of the old
AVUS race track. AVUS was opened in 1921 as Germany's first limited access road. After
World War II, the A 115 served an important function as a transit road between
West Berlin and
West Germany. In 1969, a small part of the autobahn was moved eastwards by
GDR authorities so that the
Checkpoint Bravo border crossing at Dreilinden would be fully on West Berlin territory (previously, one would enter East German territory again briefly after passing the border check into West Berlin, which posed some problems for the East German regime).
