German Autobahn near Hannover 1953. Car: Büssing 5500 LKW

Near Hannover in 1953, a Büssing 5500 LKW truck travels on an older, two-lane road that runs parallel to a major construction project. The scene captures the building of a new German Autobahn through a rural, hilly landscape. To the right, a twin-towered derrick crane stands over the unpaved ground where workers are active amidst piles of earth and building materials. In the distance, the new, wider highway curves through the valley, set against a backdrop of rolling hills under a hazy, overcast sky.
