The A13 motorway in Germany

The A13 motorway runs from the Berliner Ring towards Dresden, forming a key transport corridor for heavy goods traffic in south-eastern Germany.

The route is approximately 150 km long and serves both domestic and international transport, facilitating the efficient movement of goods between the region’s main motorway junctions and economic centres.

Main sections of the A13 motorway

The A13 is divided into several key sections:

Berliner Ring — Teupitz
The northern section diverting heavy goods traffic away from the Berlin conurbation.
Teupitz — Dresden-Nord
The central section, vital for domestic and transit traffic.
Dresden-Nord — Dresden-Süd
The southern section, connecting the A13 with other motorways and facilitating transport towards Saxony and the Czech border.

How do you pay the A13 motorway toll in Germany?

Travelling on the A13 motorway is subject to the LKW-Maut system for lorries with a technically permissible maximum laden mass (TPMLM) of more than 3.5 tonnes. Charges are calculated based on the number of kilometres travelled, the number of axles, the vehicle’s weight and its CO₂ emission class, and can be paid automatically using the E100 on-board unit (E-BOX / E-BOX 4G / E-BOX T).
