One of them is Hamburger Straße, which was first mentioned in 1437 as Breßnitzer Straße. It runs in an east–west direction and is the most important connection between Dresden and Meissen. The road follows the valley on the left bank of the Elbe River and is also part of the B 6 route. Further to the northwest of Dresden, the road continues under the name Meißner Landstraße, reaching destinations such as Cossebaude village and the freeway junction Dresden-Altstadt on the A 4 in Kemnitz.
