Bundesstraße 96a
The Bundesstraße 96a (B96a) is a federal highway in Germany. It begins in Mahlow south of Berlin on the B96 and ends north of Berlin in Birkenwerder, again on the B96. In the GDR it replaced the route of today's B96 running through West Berlin. In the GDR it was called F 96 and after German reunification it was renamed B96a. The B96 leads from the south near Mahlow to the north towards the city center of Berlin on former West Berlin territory. For this reason, a new route was designated in the GDR, which starts at Mahlow and turns east towards Schönefeld, from there it crosses the Adlergestell in the former East Berlin district of Treptow and crosses the Spree on the Elsenbrücke bridge. In the former district of Friedrichshain, the route runs along Stralauer Allee, Warschauer Straße and today's Petersburger Straße, in the former district of Prenzlauer Berg along today's Danziger Straße and then northwards along Schönhauser Allee.

Berlin Outer Ring
The Berlin outer ring (german: Berliner Außenring, BAR) is a long double track electrified railway, originally built by the German Democratic Republic to bypass West Berlin in preparation for the building of the Berlin Wall during the division of Germany. It was developed by East Germany for economic, transport policy, and military reasons between 1951 and 1961 and included parts of some older lines (Outer Freight Ring, Jüterbog–Nauen railway, and Michendorf–Großbeeren railway). Without the completion of the outer ring it would not have been possible to build the Berlin Wall, sealing off West Berlin, without disrupting East Germany’s transport links. The Potsdam-Schönefeld Expressway was built for similar reasons. The term ''Outer ring'' is used to distinguish the line from the Ring line of inner Berlin. Route Starting at the Anhalt line in the south, the outer ring runs from Genshagener Heide to Schönefeld Airport, Grünau Cross, Wuhlheide, Schönfließ, Go ...
