Polygon API for Munich

[mattfullerton]

Use case: I have data, sometimes they are coded according to PLZ, sometimes Stadtteil, sometimes Bezirk, and I don't want to have to write a new script/overpass API query everytime to get the polygons I need for a visualisation. There might be other use cases. Do we want/need this?

Demo API call from @saerdnaer:

Great as lookup for the Hackathon, I'd say. Here's a reference of the Stadtteile (for spelling):

• http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Stadtteile_M%C3%BCnchens

Is the Overpass demo call a permanent link or should we paste it here as well?

[saerdnaer]

It's permanent.

Regarding Postcode areas, see also https://osm.wno-edv-service.de/plz/ which helps to dig into the data.
