just got back from there, a few ideas to consider:
between A and B, your west-loop, not sure what's there but if you make it an eastern loop you can hit up the Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle's Nest) in Berchtesgaden, and pick up the German Alpine Road (Deutsche Alpenstrasse, google it) from there towards Fuessen (basically the 305 and 307 westbound), and abort southbound whenever.
If you're interested in a castle, hit up the Burg Hohenzollern, near Hechingen south of Stuttgart. You'll be fairly close with your Schwarzwald route.
Dortmund has the "world's largest indoor go-kart track", they have happy hour most days during the week. Alternatively you can find Schumacher's home track in Kerpen if you like racing, both near your route.
A31 north of Essen is a great road to go fast on, especially on weekends. By then you'll have 1200 miles. May want to consider a detour before you hit up Holland with their 110km/h limit.
Avoid the Autobahn, or driving altogether, on Friday afternoon anywhere near Dortmund/Duesseldorf/Essen and Frankfurt, Suttgart, etc.

Don't forget the toll sticker for Austria. There will be 'last chance' signs in Germany.

Gas is around $8-9/gallon, but i'm sure you knew that. I spent over 600 Euros in gas.
