Fastest road from Berlin to Düsseldorf?
A while ago, I drove from Poznań (PL) to Brussels (B) on a Sunday, and noticed that there were several huge traffic jams due to roadworks on Germany's A2 road. Specifically around Hannover and Helmstedt there was quite a lot of near standstill traffic.
Considering that this was just a regular Sunday, I'm going to assume that it's almost always going to be this busy, and that taking this road will generally cost quite some time. Hence my question: is there a different road that I could take, which would save me some time? Google Maps suggests taking the A38 road through Leipzig, Kassel and Dortmund, but I'm skeptical about whether this will be faster.

There really isn't a good alternative. You could try to go further south via A39, A7 and/or A44 but it's substantially longer and has pretty much the same traffic challenges (if not worse). High speed train (ICE) would be significantly faster and more predictable, if that's an option. It's about 4.5 hours. And they sell beer on the train :-)
As said in the comments, real time traffic monitoring with google maps or equivalent is your best bet here.
