On the section of the "Wipper Cycle Path" you roll along a residential road between Aschersleben and Mehringen, the asphalt of which is in a bad condition. Patched 100 times, but so far without potholes. More about the Wipper Cycle Path: https://www.fluss-radwege.de/wipper-radweg/

Officers' school of the "Wilhelm Pieck" Ministry of the Interior, Aschersleben, which has since been closed. The officers' school of the Ministry of the Interior "Wilhelm Pieck" was the central training center for future officers of the German People's Police (comparable to the higher service).

Officer school of the Ministry of the Interior "Wilhelm Pieck", Aschersleben. In 1951 the Central School of the German People's Police was opened in Aschersleben, initially for the training of security police officers, later the elite of the GDR criminal police were also trained here, officer students learned the 1 x 1 of crime scene work. In 1976, the school was renamed "Wilhelm Pieck", the officer school of the Ministry of the Interior, in honor of the first prime minister of the GDR. Secret training in GDR times Spectacular criminal cases such as the crossword puzzle murder are also part of the curriculum. But all of this leaks out – nothing! The appearance of the intact socialist society must not be damaged by anything. The reality, however, was different. Well-trained criminalists were also needed in the GDR. (MDR.de)
