Hello,

the Land Registry of the Viersen (NRW/Germany) gave us the names of 
Fieldareas (german=Gewannen)
of Viersen.
We want to import them with place=locality. (place with no population)
For the Area of Viersen are that 2900 points with the names.
The only disadvantage is that the text appears under Mapnik early.[zoom>=14]
Nevertheless, this seems to be the best solution for this Tag.

The data from the Land Registry were under the ODbL and CC by-sa released.

The imports are also marked with source = Katasteramt_Kreis_Viersen
A special user was generated also for import:

You can see an example of four places here:

( An de Beginneplänk / Buyteerste Feld / Am Aachener Weg / Schlippesdell)

All Informations are in german here:

and of the local community:

Best regards,

Greg
