Thats a really bad representation of the election results. Binary brain is strong with whoever made that.
The best way would be a gradient that shows how left or right leaning the result was overall. This just shows the largest party, but nothing about majorities.
That is the representation of the second vote.
In Germany you have two votes: One for a local representative, the second for the party List/ percentage representation in the Bundestag. The map shows the strongest party in each district according to the second vote. It serves to highlight trends. The overall election result is here:

Yeah, the AfD is the nazi party. Nazis happen when people are in a bad financial situation. And former East Germany still is in a worse financial situation than the West, hailing all the way from being looted and isolated after the war, to young talents moving into the West to find jobs after the reunion happened.
There’s also an argument to be made that not many immigrants move to the rural areas in the East, because well, if you’ve got the choice, why move there? As such, it’s a lot easier to rally people there with racist talking points.
