One detail I forgot to mention:

On the steinstuecken_1975 map, at the northern end of the enclave at
the point where the corridor enters, a road branches off to the left.
If you look closely you see that it is drawn "above" a deep border
dent. This is actually a road bridge above a railway line. The 1972
agreement was that a good portion of the railway line through
Steinstücken would belong to East Germany (hence the dent), whilst
the road bridge above would belong to West Berlin. Few maps show this
accurately, this is one which does.
