I believe the photo is reoriented South-upwards. The part of the city in the very centre, between two branches of the river, is now Die Museumsinsel. My office should be just outside the northern (bottom) walls.
I was just tidying up my hard disk, and I found this image I made at some point showing the location of the old Berlin City Wall on top of the modern city. Just in case anyone finds that interesting...pic.twitter.com/QWOqh6MWn1

Yes, I vaguely remember when I was making it that I was completely failing to work out the scale and alignment until I realised it was upside down! I don't know if it was a German convention to have south top-oriented. (I also don't remember the date of the overlay map...)

Still can't forget visiting the Wall Museum near Checkpoint Charlie, 22 years ago.

That's the more famous wall, though! The one on my map is an earlier city wall...

I also cleaned up my hard disk today, and found lecture notes with elaborate TikZ illustrations me and some fellow students created back when I still had a lot of free time at my hand

We're talking two decades since I last felt like I had free time... :(
