History
The A24 to the west (Hamburg) as well as the A 1 to the north (Lübeck) were opened to traffic in 1937.
The finished tunnel of the interchange was not used for traffic during the war; instead it was converted into a bomb shelter for the production of airplane-parts. For this purpose the exits were blocked by brick walls, and the interior of tunnel was divided in three rooms. After the war it was used by British pioneers. [2]
In 1963 the tunnel opened to traffic together with the A1 to the south (Bremen / Hannover). The motorway interchange was completed when the A 24 towards East Germany and Berlin opened to traffic.
Between 2001 and 2007 the interchange as well as the tunnel were completely remediated so they could better handle the heavier traffic. Due to the remediation of the tunnel they had to close the A1 for three months.
