This OpenHistoricalMap project aims for the historical coverage of the german Autobahn system as part of the german highway system.
Tagging
This section describes the standardization desired for this project. Listed below is a minimal set of tags. Additional tags can be added, as appropriate, but mappers should feel comfortable moving on if these have been included as a first pass.
Ways
| tag | notes | example |
|---|---|---|
name=*
|
name, if it has one | Weser-Ems-Straße
|
highway=construction
|
for the time during which a road is either under construction or complete, but not yet open. | |
highway=motorway
|
this should be true for most motorways | |
highway=trunk
|
only use this for single-carriageway roads with an A designation or a dual carriageway without an A designation. | |
source=*
|
the URL where you obtained the geometry | Bing Maps
|
start_date=*
|
start date in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format
|
1999-12-311999-121999
|
start_date:edtf=*
|
used when the start date is uncertain; can also be used for times | 1999-12-31T13:44 |
start_date:source=*
|
the URL where you obtained the start date | https://www.autobahn-online.de
|
| tag | notes | example |
|---|---|---|
ref=*
|
this is not used by any automated processing, rendering, or search.
route membership should be reflected in relation membership, not |
|
int_ref=*
|
this is not used by any automated processing, rendering, or search.
route membership should be reflected in relation membership, not |
|
oneway=yes
|
this is assumed on road segments tagged highway=motorway
|
Relations
When should segments be added to an Autobahn route relation?
- Not until they have been designated as an Autobahn with
Key:ref. The current "Bundesautobahn" system only applies since 1975-01-01. - East German motorways between 1974 and 1990-10-02 with
Key:official_ref. All relations since 1990-10-03 follow the same criteria as West German ones.
When should relations be created?
- For each segment, for each time period. For example, A 1 (Schleswig-Holstein), A 20 (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern).
- You can then group each segment into a Bundesautobahn 1 relation or a Bundesautobahn 20. Short motorways which cross state lines only need this relation
- All route relations should be grouped into a chronology relation
| tag | notes | example |
|---|---|---|
type=route
|
- | |
route=road
|
- | |
network=DE:BAB
|
for prior german Autobahn networks check the appropiate list | |
ref=*
|
put the number of the Autobahn, with the "A" prefix; NOTE: previous internal numbering schemes can be tagged as official_ref=* with a seperate route relation
|
|
wikidata=*
|
use the data item Q-code for the article about the federal motorway | Q9018
|
wikipedia=*
|
de:<article name with spaces> | de:Bundesautobahn 7
|
start_date=*
|
Put the start date of the route in its valid form at this time | |
end_date=*
|
Put the end date of the route in its valid form at this time | |
| members | Please sort your relation members so they represent a continuous line. Ideally the carriageway from exit 1 to exit x and then back |
Important dates
Here are some dates, where renumbering took place in the whole system
- 1971-07-01: Internal numbering scheme launched in West Germany
- 1974: Internal numbering scheme launched in East Germany
- 1975-01-01: New numbering scheme in West Germany launched. Numbers are displayed for users.
- 1990-10-03: German reunification. East Germany (and West Berlin!) adopts new numbering scheme.
- 1992-04-01: Only one number per motorway section is now allowed.
