The road has a total length of 132 kilometres (82 mi), of which 41 kilometres (25 mi) in the Netherlands and 91 kilometres (57 mi) in Germany.

E 233 was first proposed as "E 232 Oldenzaal—Bremen" in the European Agreement on main international traffic arteries (AGR) in 1975, which was put into force in 1983. After a realignment and renumbering it follows its current course.

The Dutch section of the highway is maintained by Rijkswaterstaat. The German section is maintained by the BMVI.
