Map of the city of Berlin divided into East and West. Built just a year before the publication of this map, the Berlin Wall is illustrated as an oversized red brick wall running north to south through the centre of the city. Away from the Wall, West Berlin's border with East Germany is illustrated with barbed wire. The map is multilingual and information is given in German, English, French and Spanish. Notable landmarks of West Berlin are numbed and depicted in pictorial form. The map is bordered by the black, red and gold bands of the flag of West Germany.
The verso provides data for West Berlin, some black and white photographs, and a map showing the transport routes to West Berlin from West Germany
