Germans were only a minority in the town.
That wasn't the premise of the map though. It was "largest cities in Germany" (by which I assume the HRE is meant), not "largest German cities".

Then they also include Konigsburg and Danzig, certainly not part of the HRE (or really part any concept of "Germany" until the mid 1800's), so I can only assume they mean largest German cities.That wasn't the premise of the map though.

No, it specifically says "German cities" in the legend.That wasn't the premise of the map though. It was "largest cities in Germany" (by which I assume the HRE is meant), not "largest German cities".
There we go!

Berlin still is far behind its pre-war population.Which is because of WWII and the Cold War-era division much more than any inherent thing about Berlin as a city. Before the war(s) it was about the same size as Paris.
I've got some questions for your map:Here's one I typed up over on SV.com. It's pretty rough though.
-Purple is Christendom
-The various shades of green are Islam, but "Green Proper" are the Arab-Persian states;
Light green are the Sino-Mongolian Muslims;
Turquoise-esque green are the former Andalusian colonies;
And Dark brownish green are the West African jihadist states.
-Red are the Huainan states and their cultural sphere, and the closely related
-Orange is the Japanese sphere, with vaguely Huainan culture, but having drifted apart for decades.
-Tibet's Bluish-Purple is (duh) the Buddhist cultural sphere.
-Finally, Neon Blue are the Hindu states of India that fled Southwards.
Here ya go!
For that matter, it also lacks Antwerp, though I'm pretty certain that the Dutch of the 1600s were still grouped in with Germans? of course this could be a map using only our modern definition. That said I was surprised to see that Worms wasn't there, always struck me as an important historical city.No, it specifically says "German cities" in the legend.
Didn't pre-war Germany have like half of East Germany in it? Then the Soviets were like 'no, make the city limits rational'?Berlin still is far behind its pre-war population.
(3.62 million vs. 4.21 million)
Talk about war damage duh...

Welcome to the board!This is a map I created for a school project that allowed to us to do AH. The POD in 1812 is that Napoleon successfully prosecutes the Russian Campaign (Moscow doesn't burn), and then goes on to use Russian men and resources to defeat Britain and the Fifth Coalition
This results in a truly Napoleonic Europe, and in the Americas results in the collapse of the European colonies. The US seizes Canada and later Australia from a weak Britain unable to fight back. Bolivar and others throughout Latin America establish new countries under the defensive umbrella of the USA.
Problems arise regarding the future of British possessions in the East and Africa. The US and France effectively find themselves in a cold war during the 19th century, with proxy conflicts abounding (such as the Americans' establishment of Liberia and a French-backed coup in Persia).
While all this is going on, a depressed Britain undergoes a Chartist revolution in the 1830s that quickly turns radical, leading to mass instability, executions, famine and a loss of industrial capacity. Brain drain from the UK occurs, with many fleeing to the US as well as a few to France.
This world is split between the two industrial superpowers, the United States and France. By the end of the 19th century, tensions are near the breaking point.
Largest German cities in 1600

Personally, i wouldn't call this scenario plausible, but AH scenarios tend to be very good thought experiments for schools
