The A14 motorway in Germany

The A14 motorway is a major route in eastern Germany, which is ultimately intended to link the Baltic Sea coast with Saxony, creating a north—south transport corridor.

Currently, there are two main sections in operation, but they are not yet fully connected — the northern section in the Schwerin area and the southern section from Magdeburg via Leipzig to Dresden. The missing sections are being extended in stages, which is of significant importance for future heavy goods traffic and international transit.

Main sections of the A14 motorway

The A14 currently consists of two main parts:

Schwerin – Wismar
The northern, operational section serving regional traffic and connections to ports on the Baltic Sea.
Magdeburg – Halle (Saale) – Leipzig – Dresden
The southern, fully passable motorway section of great importance for domestic and international transport.
The sections between Schwerin and Magdeburg
Sections under construction, which are intended to link the two existing sections into a single, continuous A14 route in the future.

How do you pay the A14 motorway toll in Germany?

Travelling on the A14 motorway is subject to the LKW-Maut system for heavy goods vehicles with a technically permissible maximum laden mass (TPMLM) of more than 3.5 tonnes. The toll is calculated per kilometre travelled according to the vehicle’s parameters (number of axles, weight and CO₂ emission class) and can be paid automatically via an E100 device (E-BOX / E-BOX 4G / E-BOX T).
