History

The interchange was opened is 1982 as a trumpet. In the early 21st century the B 96 coming from the Oranienburg-bypass had also to be linked to the Berlin beltway A10. To make this connection, a new cloverleaf was built east of the existing interchange. The old interchange is due to the cloverleaf only a connection from and to the west, the eastbound relation is completely taken over by the cloverleaf. Through the old narrow east-south trumpet bend which is still visually present, the gradient of the south-west relation is unusual.
