Hello
cs2cs +init=/usr/local/share/proj/world:gk4-d +towgs84

This use of cs2cs is not correct. You must run something like:
cs2cs *string_for_system_1* +to* string_for_system2*
The +towgs84=... is the part of a string that you use to give datum
parameters of that system

The EPSG code 31466 is for GK zone 2. Your X coordinate is very large, so
it is more likely that the point is in a different zone, probably 4, which
has a false easting of 4500 km. In that case you get:
echo 4491957.175 5511210.407 | cs2cs +init=epsg:31468 +to +init=epsg:4326
11d53'13.028"E 49d44'14.871"N 48.659
At least this point is in Germany... The datum transformation parameters
used are the following:
+towgs84=598.1,73.7,418.2,0.202,0.045,-2.455,6.7
