The Bundesstraße 6 (abbr. B6) is a German federal highway running from Bremerhaven on the North Sea coast in a southeasterly direction through the states of Lower Saxony, Bremen, Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony to Görlitz on the Polish border. History East of Leipzig, the B6 (except of the ring roads around Meißen, Dresden and Bischofswerda) largely follows the historic course of the '' Via Regia Lusatiae Superioris'', part of the medieval ''Via Regia''. In 1937, the northwestern section of the former ''Reichsstraße 6'' (R6) was extended from Bremerhaven (Wesermünde) to Cuxhaven. Before World War II and the implementation of the Oder–Neisse line, the R6 road continued southeastwards from Görlitz via Hirschberg (present-day Jelenia Góra, Poland) and Schweidnitz (Świdnica) to the Silesian capital Breslau (Wrocław) and from there via Oels (Oleśnica) as far as the former Polish border near Groß Wartenberg (Syców).

Schafberg (Löbau)
The Schafberg is a hill, , east of Löbau in the Saxon county of Görlitz. Together with the neighbouring Löbauer Berg () it forms a single hill unit. History The story of a rock formation used for the calendrical observation of the sun has been passed down from a prehistoric period. This rock formation is known today as the ''Geldkeller'' ("money cellar") and serves as the basis for several legends. In addition, there are the remains of an approximately 3000-year-old ring wall on the mountain, which once served to protect a Bronze Age settlement. For centuries the hill was used as pasture for cattle and sheep, which is why it is also known as the Schafberg. Due to the fact that the hill has only a few springs, keeping livestock was difficult. One of the few places where water could be found on the hill was the spring of ''Rinnelbrunnen'', which was used as a drinking trough. After 1850, keepign animals on the hill was no longer allowed. From 1936 there was an ammunition store a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
