 What is now "Bundesstraße" 420 was built in the 19th century as a "Staatsstraße" (State Road).It formerly led right through the village, rich as it was in bottlenecks, but was, with the inhabitants’ blessing, realigned in 1937/1938 by the Nazis in the course of fortifying the Third Reich's western border (Siegfried Line), so that it now bypasses the village.The road passing through the village was then reclassified as "Kreisstraße" (District Road) 29.
