## Geocoding
Geocoding services (search map data by name, address or postcode) are provided via the
[Nominatim](https://nominatim.org/) API, powered by [OpenStreetMap](https://openstreetmap.org) data. Notfellchen uses
a selfhosted Nominatim instance to avoid overburdening the publicly hosted instance. Due to ressource constraints
geocoding is only supported for Germany right now.
