Centrum Warenhaus Suhl DDR 1989
Wilhelm Pieck Str 11, built 1966-1969. A smaller cousin of the main store in Alexanderplatz in Berlin.
I had left Erfurt after a few days, registered with the police there, and was now en route to Eisenach by way of crossing and re-crossing the Thueringer Wald. Between Erfurt and Schleusingen a DDR Volksarmee reservist opposite me had consumed 4 (FOUR) large bottles of beer, opening one full bottle with another. The descent from the summit to Schleusingen was accompanied by continuous squealing of the brakes on the steep descent. I think a class 119 Romanian made diesel was in charge. The final leg was from Meiningen to Eisenach. Somewhere in the middle of this was a bus ride.
