My German officemate looked through it for a date, but couldn't find one. When she saw me staring at it (I was thinking, "wow! retro!") she simply said "these are the old borders."
It's strange to think about such grand, historical events happening right where I am today. In fact, I daily commute from East Berlin through West Berlin and then into Brandenburg - which was part of the DDR. Instead of just a hassle, my commute would have been literally impossible (or at least terribly inconvenient) when I was born.
