        Route 46 describes an almost 70 km long unfinished motorway section in Germany, which runs parallel to today's A 7 between Fulda and Würzburg.

        The construction of this planned Reichsautobahn began in 1937 and stopped in 1939. A total of around 30 km of continuous stretch was built.

        Numerous fragments of the almost completed motorway are still in the landscape, such as sections of road, bridges and bridge piers. They have been a listed building since 2003. There are almost a dozen unfinished structures on the old route, most of them in the forest. In Rupboden, a district road crosses the tree-covered route, which is clearly visible from above.
