Panzerstraße / Römerstraße
Bike Touring Highlight (Segment)
The "Panzerstraße" was built to connect the 7th Panzer Regiment from the barracks in Vaihingen with the 8th Panzer Regiment in Böblingen, which was only 15 kilometers away. The road consists of two lanes separated by a median made of darker cobblestones. Cobblestones were preferred because they were not damaged by the tank tracks. For a long time, American soldiers used the road for an annual marathon over ten miles from Vaihingen to Böblingen.

Unfortunately, this street with the cobblestones no longer exists - instead, the first cycle expressway for Stuttgart is now being built. Personally, I think it's a shame because it always felt like driving at Paris-Roubaix for me. Only a small part from Rohr to Vaihingen is left.

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

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

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.December 3, 2015
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.

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.

Always nice to drive the old route again. Definitely more comfortable going down the hill.

Wide bicycle road through the forest. At the beginning cobblestones, after that it gets better quickly (normal asphalt)
October 25, 2022
It doesn't seem like that, but it takes a bit of an upward climb over time, but the descent after that is good
