So you're saying that the Stahnsdorfer Strasse in between the
Teltower Strasse and the Bernhard-Beyer-Strasse was GDR territory,
and the jig isn't there. It doesn't look like that on this map. So
I'd say an error, not a printing one, but a cartographic one.
I have a post-Wende Berlin map, so I don't know whether the Federal
Land-boundary here completely corresponds to the old situation. But
there is a jig there, too. On the westernmost part of the
Stahnsdorfer Str., the boundary runs slightly more to the south, so
perhaps a couple of metres south of the southern edge of this street.
After the jig, to the east, the boundary precisely follows the
southern street edge. This "jig" is at exactly the same location as
on David's map, but the difference is that the boundary doesn't cross
over to the other side of the street.
This could, of course, be a boundary rectification made after the
reunification of Germany.
The situation at where it says "Neu-Babelsberg" is the location of
the former three Boettcherberg enclaves. I have never seen a map of
these (at this time, they didn't exist anymore). How did they look?
Lastly: I hope Falk will stop making maps with this stupid
projection, distorting everything at the edges, and making it
necessary to put in these "1000 m"-arrows.
