Initialy i said "place=locality" is something which should not show up in "Villages". The Wiki explicitly mentiones it as an uninhabited location. So it cant be a village. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dlocality "The place=locality tag can be used to name unpopulated place which is not associated with any extant feature to which such a tag could be associated" http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Key:place Flurbezeichung. Name eines Ortes, wo keine Leute Leben (Flurname). Here the German and the English version differ a bit - But both agree that its an unpopulated place. The German documentation even goes further and makes it a "Flurbezeichnung" which is a legal name for the land registry. Flo -- Florian Lohoff [email protected]
