History
Origin
The modern-day Bundesstraße 87 has been in use since
to Frankfurt (Oder). The easternmost section between Beeskow and Frankfurt (Oder) was completed in 1856.Earlier Descriptions
The Prussian State Highway 33 (German: preußische Staatschaussee Nr. 33 went from Frankfurt (Oder) to Leipzig. From Leipzig the Prussian State Highway 69 ran to Weißenfels. In Weißenfels this road connected with the Prussian State Highway 66, which ran from Halle (Saale) to Weimar.
In 1932 the road was renamed Fernverkehrsstraße 87 (FVS 87), and in 1934 Reichsstraße 87 (R 87) by the
Nazis, connecting with the former Fernverkehrsstraße 7 (which later became Reichsstraße 7) at Umpferstedt (between Jena
and Weimar). In 1961 the so-called Fernverkehrsstraße 87 (F 87) was extended from Umpferstedt to Ilmenau.
Replacements
Since 2005 the Bundesstraße 87 runs between the Lützen South (A 38) and
Landstrasse
L188.
Further Plans
Since 1996 the extension from Meiningen to Fulda has been planned as Bundesstraße 87n.
