German here. I can’t check everything, but the ones I know the location of look good to me.

A bit outdated, but at the same time nothing much changed. Definitely gives you a good enough picture.

Daimler / Mercedes Benz is missing in Stuttgart. That alone means disqualification.

Very outdated.
Many companies don’t exist any more.

Well for some reason it has Dr. Oetker right in the middle of what is only forest. No cities near there.

Yes, it does. Much of East Germany, where there even is industry worth of note, are the workbenches for West German combines – a bit like before German unification.

funfact:
Saxony-Anhalt the federal state in the upper middle with no major firms used to have the slogan „state of the early-ups“ because a studie found that nobody stands up earlier in the day.
Until they realized that that’s a bad thing. because people have to commute outside the state for work. ouch!

I would say you got some of the most relevant companies
their geographic placement seems to be correct

This map is pretty useless without a legend or even a title, what does it show? A specific type of company? How big does a company have to be to make it on this map? or are these just random companies? I don’t know it it is accurate, it kind of implies that there are only like 10 companies in East Germany? I assure you there is more than that…

Why is there such a huge split between west/south west an East/North East? Is it a population thing or is it something else?

And to think that Adidas, Puma and Schaeffler are all from the same small town with 26,000 people.

Abundan los comentarios diciendo que el mapa está desactualizado. Quedarse en la información actualizada o no y no ver los patrones estructurales —localización, ejes de comunicación, orientación histórica— es no entender para qué sirve un mapa así. Y sí, esto también es geografía.

I think it’s about right, just the logos are so big that the place is not always exactly correct
It might be slightly outdated but this is pretty much also a density map as much as it is a „the east has few big companies“-map.
Airberlin doesn’t exist anymore. It’s quite outdated map.
It’s very outdated
