There was a project once to create these maps but I don't know the
status, it may be dead/frozen. Here are two wiko pages
(furGerman-langauge wiki pages

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/HaptoRender (German version of the
page may be more current - try auto-translating)

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_for_the_blind

There's a German-language mailing list

https://lists.openstreetmap.de/mailman/listinfo/haptischekarten

The main people behind these efforts were OSM users bahnpirat and
Lulu-Ann and if all else fails, try to contact them directly for info.

Best
Frederik
