It doesnt need to guess ;) All of Northrhine Westfalia has boundarys
down to at least admin_level 8 ;) So this would be Alt Hammoor, Rietberg,
Germany wich is the official postal address - Mastholte is
a part of Rietberg. The Admin boundary for Rietberg is there. I tested
Rietberg too though ...

BTW It seemed Alt Hammoor was not linked to any of the surrounding
places which would be Langenberg, Bokel or Mastholte ... Parts of
Alt Hammoor (The most Northern 300m) belong to Bokel - Shouldnt
the Street be associated with ALL those places instead of none?
