For me, Yes.

If it is not marked .. than how do you (or anyone) know that it is 
'designated'?

Ummm 'marked' could mean it is 'marked' on some plan or other rather 
than 'marked' by a traffic sign or by road painting ... but I'd think if 
it is not marked locally then the 'designation' will be ineffective.
OSM is supposed to reflect what is 'on the ground' so marked is 
appropriate. Particularly by a traffic sign or by road painting.

Happy to be persuaded otherwise...
Could you provide a link to the German discussion? That may help.
