With the completion of the new "Altona-Lübecker Chaussee" in 1841, the new "Gewind mail coach" also went into service. It shortened the travel time between Hamburg and Lübeck to just 6 ¾ hours instead of the minimum 12 hours on the previously unpaved route. With the opening of the railway connection in 1865, the steam locomotive gave way to the mail coach. She needs just 1 ½ hours for the same distance.

Denmark took over the maintenance of the roads and received customs revenue from the movement of goods. Why Denmark? The King of Denmark was also Duke of Schleswig and Holstein at this time. But national affiliation was complicated because the duchies were also part of the German Confederation. After the German-Danish War (1864), the duchies of Holstein, Schleswig and Lauenburg were annexed by Prussia (1867) and combined as the province of Schleswig-Holstein.
