The original BBBike does not use OpenStreetMap data, but its own data set (hence the name: *B*erlin *B*randenburg *B*ike). But it's possible to download data sets converted from OpenStreetMap to the BBBike format. The list of available regions and cities can be seen here: http://www.bbbike.org/ So Harz is not exactly included here, but maybe Göttingen or Braunschweig or Hannover will do it, or if not, you can ask Wolfram Schneider to create a new region.
