Panzerstraße / Römerstraße

The "Panzerstraße" was created to connect the 7th Panzer Regiment from the barracks in Vaihingen with the 8th Panzer Regiment in Böblingen, only 15km away. The road consists of two lanes separated by a median strip of darker paving stones. Cobblestone was preferred because it was not damaged by the tank tracks. The American soldiers used the road for a long time for an annual marathon over 10 miles from Vaihingen to Böblingen.

Unfortunately, this street with the paving stones is no longer available - now the first cycle path for Stuttgart is being built. Personally, I find it a pity, because for me it was always a feeling to drive like Paris-Roubaix. Only a small part of Rohr to Vaihingen is left

Before it was covered with asphalt, the cobblestones stretched much further towards Böblingen when the route was expanded as a cycle expressway.
And on the Vaihinger side, too, the cobblestones reach the BMW branch.

If I had to drive the Panzerstrasse regularly, I would buy a spring-loaded e-bike. The historic cobblestones should be preserved.

It's such a great route 😃 Definitely drive there!

Nice strokes, but not for recumbent riders with 20 "wheels, because then you have no kidney stones more

Rumbles a bit, but it is a nice fast connection between Vaihingen and Böblingen

There are plans to convert the tank road to a bicycle highway, with asphalt and intelligent street lighting. I'm curious how and if that will be implemented.

Historic street. Absolutely continue on the Stuttgart side to the Ami barracks

Very nice and valuable road that you should not change. An architectural monument in the middle of the forest.

New Radscnellweg made great

On cobblestones to the Rohrer height

Attention, the part from Audi to the autobahn is still the cobblestones

Beautiful wide street with nice branches to the right and left, because of cobblestones but a bit rough to drive.

This ascent / descent is still completely cobblestone.

Cobblestones - it bounces properly!

It doesn't seem like that, but it takes a bit of an upward climb over time, but the descent after that is good
