The Wiesbadener Kreuz is a full cloverleaf interchange near the Hessian state capital of Wiesbaden in Germany where the Autobahnen A3 and A66 meet. It lies within the northeastern edge of Hochheim am Main. The interchange was opened in 1939 and was one of the first interchanges in Germany.

Used by approximately 210,000 vehicles per day, it is one of the most frequented interchanges in Hesse and Germany.[1]

The portion of the A3 between the Wiesbadener Kreuz and Kreuz Fürth/Erlangen is traditionally one of the most congested sections of Autobahn in Germany.[2]

The road has over the years undergone many projects to improve traffic flow and repairing/replacing the surface, including replacing the bridges that take the A3 over the A66.[3]
