Hi Evelyne,
Not really easy, as you have to work out the upper (55) and lower (47.27)
latitudes of Germany, but try this:
DEylim<-c(47.27,55)
DENS<-diff(DEylim)
clip(5.8,15.1,DEylim[2]-0.494*DENS,DEylim[2])
abline(h=60)
map("worldHires","Germany",fill=TRUE,col="blue")
text(10.3,52.5,"CDU/CSU",col="white")
clip(5.8,15.1,DEylim[2]-0.799*DENS,DEylim[2]-0.494*DENS)
abline(h=60)
map("worldHires","Germany",fill=TRUE,col="red",add=TRUE)
text(10.3,50,"SPD",col="white")
clip(5.8,15.1,DEylim[2]-0.9*DENS,DEylim[2]-0.799*DENS)
abline(h=60)
map("worldHires","Germany",fill=TRUE,col="orange",add=TRUE)
text(10.3,48.5,"LINKE",col="white")
clip(5.8,15.1,DEylim[1],DEylim[2]-0.9*DENS)
abline(h=60)
map("worldHires","Germany",fill=TRUE,col="green",add=TRUE)
text(10.3,47.8,"GRUENE",col="white")
