Kann mir jemand etwas über diese Karte erzählen? Ich verstehe, dass es aus den 1950er-Jahren stammt, habe aber online noch kein Exemplar dieser Art gefunden.

Those are the pre WW2 boundaries of Germany. In the 50s you would have East and West Germany, and the eastern portion shown would be in Poland. The far eastern section was East Prussia.
1950s? That’s the same map that started WW2 from the 1930s. Hitler wanted his corridor to East Prussia separated from the rest of Germany after the treaty of Versailles. A lot of what is shown in the color of East Germany was Poland in the 1950s
Found a slightly different version online. Apparently from 1955. High Resolution

I think the strange borders are because they used the pre-war design (German Reich) for the cover, but only fully mapped West Germany and Berlin. This particular map even shows the now Polish part as if it was another German zone, but „under Polish administration“.
Edit: And here is your version currently for sale, with low resolution pictures: [link](https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/bp-autokarte-bundesrepublik-deutschland-und-berlin/3263696546-234-2827); Or [just the pictures](https://imgur.com/a/f5da79s)
I have some similar maps I’ve picked up at antique stores here in Germany. I have one from ESSO. Love these and wish I could find someone to frame and wall mount.
The German aral road maps are very good like the Michelin roed maps
Awww, they thought they would get that East Prussia back ..
