 Nominatim helps me to resolve incorrect divided streetnames like this:
 "Main Str., 51149 Köln" to "Mainstr., 51149 Köln"
 [http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=Main+Str.%2C+51149+Köln]

 German street names have often "Weg" as last name part. Is it possible to
 handle this correction also with "Weg".

 Examples:
 1. Real street name is "Ziegeleiweg, 51149 Köln":
    Should be found with "Ziegelei Weg" or "Ziegelei-Weg", if no other hits
 are available.
 2. Real street name is "Urbacher Weg, 51149 Köln":
    Should be found with "Urbacherweg", if no other hits are available.
 3. To be complete: Real street name is "Theodor-Schnitzler-Weg, 51149
 Köln":
    Can be found with "Theodor Schnitzler Weg", but should be also be
 findable with "Theodorschnitzlerweg", if no other hits are available.

 Thanx
