The motorway interchange was built together with the A8 to connect to Salzburg. The connection had to be ready before the Second World War. Construction began in 1936 and opened to traffic in 1938.

Between 1946 and 1951 they held motor races at the interchange, called the Karlsruher Dreiecksrennen.
