differences identified, roughly, since there are further advances in the editions, e.g. Reich roads; roughly ZRK 4-digit old series, ZRK 5-digit new series, transitions too, questions about the ZRK welcome, small can also be the new series, old series ZRK 53x, transition 54yy, old probably always a small plan, new either a large plan, an altered small plan or an almost identical small plan, all details always refer to the inner town plans, there are new motifs in the 2nd series as well, some of which are shown on the main photo for example, tears at the folds do occur, even where the paper was noted as being in order; defective here means something cut out, heavily scribbled on, glued or the fold torn right through, or even a part of the whole map is missing. Small plans measure approx. 20x20cm, large ones are at least 10x20cm bigger, mostly 30x30cm,

on Shell maps in general: a product of the Shell oil company , distributed in the era when motor traffic was beginning in Germany as a series of road maps , see also the BZ map, Esso map, BV map, Continental map etc.; all the well-known fuel and in part motor-vehicle suppliers began partly before the First World War and increasingly afterwards to get their road maps to the "man in the street". The Shell maps as a programme were very extensive., there exists a 25s series, the 26s was in my view discussed online, among the town maps the 1st series with 88, the 2nd series with 93 towns.... for historians, collectors and local-history enthusiasts, railway enthusiasts, classic-car enthusiasts, the different maps of the ever-expanding series are interesting too
