The Verein zur Vorbereitung der Autostraße Hansestädte–Frankfurt–Basel (), commonly referred to as HaFraBa, was an organization dedicated to developing one of the first large Autobahn projects in Germany.

== Foundation and name == The association was founded on November 6, 1926 as "Verein zum Bau einer Straße für den Kraftwagen-Schnellverkehr von Hamburg über Frankfurt a.M. nach Basel" () by Robert Otzen. On May 31, 1928 the association was renamed as the Verein zur Vorbereitung der Autostraße Hansestädte–Frankfurt–Basel to include the Hanseatic cities of Bremen and Lübeck into the planning. As the terms Hamburg and Hansestädte begin with the same letters the abbreviation HaFraBa could be maintained.
