This isn't actually true. For a start, a large number of his examples
predate the division of the country, and it was not a geographical
division either as several of these are from western areas such as
Frankfurt am Main and Munich. As for the more recent examples, it is not
surprising if most are from eastern areas as that is where Andreas
lives. But Hoffmann und Campe is a Hamburg publisher but still put
NUßSCHALE on a cover - for a larger picture see

and click on the book. And another example is from Frankfurter Allgemeine.
