The first Autobahn was opened in 1932 betwen Cologne and Bonn by Konrad Adenauer, at that time mayor of Cologne and later the first chancelor of the Federal Republic of Germany. (No, it was NOT Mr. Hitler's idea!)

The Autobahn first started to be laid out and poured around 1930. The first 20km was opened in 1932, but the planning was for years before it even started. Hope this helps, Nick.
