Halle–Vienenburg Railway
The Halle–Vienenburg railway is a 123 kilometre long non-electrified main line (railway), main line north of the Harz Mountains in central Germany. It is an important connection between the metropolitan area of Halle (Saale) and the northern Harz mountains. It was opened in several sections between 1862 and 1872 by the Magdeburg–Halberstadt Railway Company (''Magdeburg-Halberstädter Eisenbahngesellschaft'', MHE) and is now maintained by DB Netz except for the disused section between Heudeber-Danstedt and Vienenburg. Since 1996, traffic between Heudeber-Danstedt and Vienenburg has used the railway via Wernigerode running further to the south. Between Halle (Saale) Hauptbahnhof, Halle Hauptbahnhof and Halle-Trotha, a single-track electrified line of the S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland runs parallel to the Halle–Halberstadt railway, but there is no connection between the lines in Halle-Trotha.

Bundesstraße 180
''Bundesstraße'' (German for "federal highway"), abbreviated ''B'', is the denotation for German and Austrian national highways. Germany Germany's ''Bundesstraßen'' network has a total length of about 40,000 km. German ''Bundesstraßen'' are labelled with rectangular yellow signs with black numerals, as opposed to the white-on-blue markers of the ''Autobahn'' controlled-access highways. ''Bundesstraßen'', like autobahns, are maintained by the federal agency of the Transport Ministry. In the German highway system they rank below autobahns, but above the ''Landesstraßen'' and ''Kreisstraßen'' maintained by the federal states and the districts respectively. The numbering was implemented by law in 1932 and has overall been retained up to today, except for those roads located in the former eastern territories of Germany. One distinguishing characteristic between German ''Bundesstraßen'' and ''Autobahnen'' is that there usually is a general 100 km/h (62 mph) spe ...

Köthen–Aschersleben Railway
The Köthen–Aschersleben railway is one of the oldest railway lines in Germany, with its eastern half opened in 1846. It forms an east-west link in the state of Saxony-Anhalt and connects several major towns. History The first serious plans for the construction of the line were developed by the Duchy of Anhalt in 1845. At the time, Köthen already had rail connections in three directions, with the Magdeburg-Leipzig line connecting to Magdeburg in the north and Halle in the south and the main line of the Berlin-Anhalt Railway Company (german: Berlin-Anhaltische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft ) connecting to Dessau and Berlin in the east. In 1845, the ''Anhalt-Köthen-Bernburg Railway Company'' (''Anhalt-Köthen-Bernburger Eisenbahn'') was founded and shortly thereafter got approval for the construction of the Köthen–Bernburg line. The following year the line was opened, terminating at Köthen’s third station. Biendorf was the only station in between. In 1863, the ''Anhalt-Köthe ...
