This map shows an interesting detail. Someone from the Netherlands, who collects tickets, has made an interesting study about this.
The older tickets (in Germany, but also elsewhere) showed a scheme of the line in question, where (almost) all stops were indicated. So the conductor simply had to tick where they had boarded and where they wanted to get off.
The map clearly shows the barracks (even with name) and there is a good chance that a nearby stop had the same name. Due to the threat of war, all barracks suddenly disappeared from all maps... and tickets: they were renamed. This happened several times (according to that study): the stop could first be given a 'beautiful' name (peace), or the name of a known (usually revolutionary) person, and later be renamed to something else, ranging from 'football' to the name of a nearby street. This process could happen in any direction - and has happened, mostly before, during and after the war.
History repeats itself: on Google maps, barracks are now also being blurred...
