It&#39;s the south-western corner of a 1977 map published by the Berlin <br/>
Transport Authority (BVG) showing bus routes in West Berlin. Here&#39;s <br/>
the link:<br/>

This nicely shows the motorway by-pass (and includes Wüste Mark) <br/>
although it doesn&#39;t show the old motorway at Albrechts Teerofen.<br/>
<br/>
However the main reason why I&#39;ve posted the map is to draw attention <br/>
to the strange bus route &quot;E&quot; from Wannsee to the motorway junction at <br/>
Drewitz. I&#39;ve still got the West Berlin bus timetable from my 1977 <br/>
visit and I&#39;ve uploaded a scan of the page here:<br/>

<br/>
Why did the bus terminate in the middle of nowhere? (Was it an <br/>
interchange point for GDR buses to places like Potsdam?) And why was <br/>
the service more frequent at weekends?<br/>
<br/>
Finally I&#39;d just like to express my thanks to Mats for another <br/>
excellent posting regarding the Bottcherberg exclaves - and I&#39;m <br/>
patiently hoping for something similar for Wüste Mark!<br/>
