About Kołbaskowo – Pomellen

Kołbaskowo–Pomellen is the crossing at the end of the A6 motorway, south-west of Szczecin. On the German side the road becomes the A11 autobahn, which runs straight to Berlin, making this the main link between Szczecin and Brandenburg and Berlin. The crossing handles cars in both directions, but throughout the week it also carries a great many trucks, both port traffic from Szczecin and through transit.

Since Poland joined Schengen there has been no routine clearance on this border, but as of September 2026 a period of temporary controls is in force: Germany has run them since October 2023, Poland since July 2025. Selected vehicles are stopped, and on the motorway that usually means lane closures, some cars being directed into a car park and slower progress. Check the Polish Border Guard and Bundespolizei announcements before you travel and carry a passport or ID card. The German A11 is free of charge for cars.

You are most likely to meet a tailback on the A6 on Friday afternoons and at the start of long weekends, when holiday traffic joins the trucks. Drivers who do not need the motorway can consider the nearby local crossing at Rosówek–Rosow or Lubieszyn–Linken north-west of Szczecin; for Schwedt, Krajnik Dolny is often more convenient. Compare the times on the live board before deciding.

Calculated for a car at 7,0 L/100 km, petrol 95 at the country average on the day of calculation. Substitute your own consumption — the whole formula is here.

A road charge is counted only where the route actually uses a toll road. A vignette is always counted, because in many countries it is required on ordinary roads too.

Where a drive uses a toll motorway, the barrier toll for that section is included in the figure, at the price the road operator publishes for it. A vignette is a flat national price.
