If you have some time, it is relatively straight forward to combine data sources and create the map above, which combines geometry and population information at the county level (Kreise) from open sources. Total population iaw Destatis is just above 180k.
Geometry: This dataset from Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie with Data licence Germany – attribution – Version 2.0
Population; Destatis - Statistisches Bundesamt with Data licence Germany – attribution – Version 2.0
Code adapted from this example with postal code areas from Dr. Juan Camilo Orduz.
As reference, same map in 2001 (note the huge difference in scale!) with total population just below 130k.
