[Tagging] siphon underpass

[Volker Schmidt]

Thanks. I did not know that word.
On the German Wikipedia page for "Düker" they also mention this:
"Ein Düker zur Überwindung eines Tales, wie sie schon Römer
<https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B6misches_Reich> aus Blei
<https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blei>- und Tonrohren bauten, wird eher
*Siphon* genannt."

I would prefer to make it a type of tunnel, not a special type of culvert,
but I would not insist
