I found this map of dominant tree species in Germany while investigating it:
https://atlas.thuenen.de/layers/geonode:Dominant_Species_Class
Indeed, there is are significant difference between the maps. Perhaps most notably in Baden-Würtemberg where there seems to be a lot of fir. But I also think there is a a clear correlation between the maps. I also find it interesting to see the correlation between the suitable habitat for oakwood and the absence of forests.
Also in the Sauerland in the northwest of Germany where there should be oak or beech, it is often sprouce (or since a few years dead sprouce).
