Editing AVUS (section)

==Circuit==
The highway is located in the southwestern districts of Berlin, linking the [[Bundesautobahn 100|Stadtring]] at the [[Funkturm Berlin|Funkturm]] junction in [[Charlottenburg]] with [[Nikolassee]]. It runs through the [[Grunewald (forest)|Grunewald forest]] along the historic ''Königsweg'' road from Charlottenburg to [[Potsdam]] and the parallel [[Berlin-Blankenheim railway]] line.

While normal for a road, it is unusually shaped for a race track as it is essentially two long straights in the form of a dual carriageway, with a hairpin corner at each end. The north curve featured a steep banking from 1937 to 1967. While the original layout was {{convert|19.569|km|mi|abbr=on}} long, the southern turn was moved several times, to shorten the track to {{convert|8.300|km|mi|abbr=on}}, then {{convert|8.109|km|mi|abbr=on}} without the banking, {{convert|4.879|km|mi|abbr=on}} and finally {{convert|2.639|km|mi|abbr=on}}.
