A common name in German language.
Note that this tag is useful when object has names specified in more than one language:
- If name=* is in German it specifies which language is used in main name tag
- If name=* is in a different language then it specifies name in German
For controversial German names coined during World War II in countries such as Poland, the German-speaking community prefers to use more detailed keys based on old_name:de=* and the date namespace, to keep data consumers from inadvertently using these names matter-of-factly.
