I am saving this list here as a to-do-list. Should anyone suggest a proper way to map this stuff, I will try to enter it in OSM. These are places where the owner can fine you with some hundreds euro if you drive through, if you stay more than 15 minutes at the gas station, if don’t spend enough money at the gas station, and so on.

Diese ist eine List von bekannte Besitzstörungsfälle in Wien:

• Shell-Tankstelle, Ecke Katsushikastraße/Leopoldauer Straße 49, 1210 Wien (hinter der Brücke bei McDonalds)
• Sackgasse Breitenleer Straße 50, 1220 Wien
• Liegenschaft Siemensstraße 105A, ident mit Richard-Neutra-Gasse 3, 1210 Wien
• Donaufelder Straße 135, 1210 Wien (zwischen Hofer und Einkaufszeile Schichtweg)
• Franz-Eduard-Matras-Gasse 5-7, 1220 Wien Es handelt sich hier um eine Sackgasse an deren Ende es kein Weiterkommen für mehrspurigen Verkehr gibt. Das Wenden des Fahrzeuges ist nahezu unmöglich. Deshalb nutzen viele Lenker die Möglichkeit und wenden in einem anliegendem Grundstück. Da dieses überwacht wird, kommt es in jedem Fall zu einer Besitzstörungsanzeige.
• Brünner Straße 64, 1210 Wien, FS Tankstelle. Sogar Kunden der bei selber Adresse befindliche Autowerkstatt werden angezeigt.
• Donaufelder Straße 128, Tankstelle, 1210 Wien
• Heiligenstädter Str. 60, Shell
• BP Tankstelle, Gaudenzdorfer Gürtel 77, 1050 Wien

I use to explore and map the area on the border between North and South Tyrol, and I have noticed that part of the border between Austria and Italy is wrong in openstreetmap. I noticed the error, because some abandoned Itallian military infrastracture had moved into Austrian territory.

Here is an example (before fixing): I know that the house with the geodetical tower is in Italy. The boundary stones are located some meters northern. The border between North and Tyrol runs on the watershed, so the border is exactly on the Sandjöchl Pass.

I try to make some order concerning the ruins of Tabor of Draga (node/2446922919), of Moccó-Zabrežec castle (node/2446922916), and of Fünfenberg/Vikumberg (node/2448428184). I will also discuss the overlapping Lorencan (node/325711255).

These area have been edited/deleted/reverted many times, very likely in good faith believing to fix errors, but actually introducing wrong names, removing correct ones, and messing up positions. What made things more complicated is that all these localities are referred with names in at least three different languages (German, Italian, Slovenian), and the same applies also to documents. This post is intended to share information about the topic, trying to get these nodes finally correct and stable.

First of all, two useful links showing maps of the area:

• www.Geopedia.si (maps of Slovenia)
• http://www.archiviodistatotrieste.it/AriannaWeb/main.htm#15888_archivio - Maps of the Franziskaner Kataster (select Distretto di Fünfenberg and then Comune di Draga S. Elia or Comune di Occisla)

Lorencan (aka Sv.Lorenc) is just the name of the spur where the Tabor of Draga is erected. It hosts also an archaelogical site. Source: http://www.arzenal.si/sarnas/najdisce/755

While the locations of the Moccó and Draga castles are quite clear (near Moccó and Draga, where else?), it is Fünfenberg / Vikumberg that causes some problems.

According the the book “Guida del Carso Triestino” von Dante Cannarella, 1970, Vikumberg/Fünfenberg is a synonym of Moccó.

According to “I castelli del Carso medioevale”, cited in http://www.atrieste.eu/Forum3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=6390 “the castle Fünfenberg, also known as Vicumbergo, was located on a spur over the houses of Botazzo”, “it was known at the end of its existence as Tabor of Draga”.

The two above citations are wrong and were more recently amended:

A useful list if someone want to map name:hu for bilingual towns in Slovenia:

http://e-prostor.gov.si/fileadmin/BREZPLACNI_POD/RPE/UL_S.txt

It contains the official list of all street names from Slovenia.

I have already performed the part concerning name:it, since that was an area I knew and/or where I could perform surveys, but name:hu is still incomplete. This was also a good opportunity to fix wrong names or map unmapped roads.

Lession learnt: don’t rely only on Google Maps when checking street names: sometimes they were inconsistent with surveys and geopedia.si
