Gastarbeiterroute is a German language slang term originating in the 1970s. It referred to the former European route 5, which started in Munich and terminated in either Istanbul or Thessaloniki. In summer, as well as for Christmas and Easter, so-called gastarbeiters working in West Germany, Austria and Western Europe would drive their automobiles south on the gastarbeiterroute through Austria and Yugoslavia to their countries of origin. It was notoriously dangerous for drivers and passengers who traveled on congested roads not suited to such heavy traffic.

  • Gastarbeiterroute ist die Ende der 1960er Jahre entstandene umgangssprachliche Bezeichnung für die ehemalige Reisestrecke zwischen München und Istanbul beziehungsweise Thessaloniki. Es handelte sich dabei um die bevorzugte Autoreiseroute von südosteuropäischen Gastarbeitern in deren Heimatländer zu Urlaubszeiten. Im weitesten Sinne verläuft sie entlang der Strecke der historischen Europastraße 5 (Nord-Süd-Achse; via Wien – Budapest). Auf dieser Route sorgten ab Ende der 1960er Jahre Gastarbeiterströme hauptsächlich zu Beginn der Sommerferien, zu Weihnachten und zu Ostern für Chaos besonders auf den österreichischen und jugoslawischen Straßen, die damals nicht für den Transit von jeweils rund zwei Millionen Personen innerhalb weniger Tage ausgelegt waren. Die Gastarbeiterroute führte vielfach durch enge Dörfer und Städte; Ortsumfahrungen und Autobahnausbau befanden sich zumeist noch im Planungsstadium. Über viele Jahre verzeichnete die Strecke enorme Staus und hohe Unfallopferzahlen. (de)
  • Gastarbeiterroute is a German language slang term originating in the 1970s. It referred to the former European route 5, which started in Munich and terminated in either Istanbul or Thessaloniki. In summer, as well as for Christmas and Easter, so-called gastarbeiters working in West Germany, Austria and Western Europe would drive their automobiles south on the gastarbeiterroute through Austria and Yugoslavia to their countries of origin. It was notoriously dangerous for drivers and passengers who traveled on congested roads not suited to such heavy traffic. The route ran from Munich on the German Bundesautobahn 8 to Salzburg and further southwards on the Austrian Tauern Autobahn, which then ended at Golling at the northern rim of the Alps. Drivers had to take the highway (Bundesstraße) to Bischofshofen, Radstadt, and through the Enns valley to Liezen, Leoben, Bruck an der Mur, and Graz. The route passed the Austrian–Yugoslav border at Spielfeld and ran further south to Maribor, Varaždin, and Zagreb. From Zagreb, the notorious Brotherhood and Unity Highway (Autoput) led to Belgrad and Niš, where the route forked: one branch led via Skopje and Evzoni to Thessaloniki, the other branch ran southeastwards along the ancient Via Militaris through Bulgaria to Istanbul.
