do you have any background info regarding the many "obstacle" nodes which are present in German waterways?
I don't. I found a key:obstacle page in the Wiki that associates it OpenSeaMap - I don't know why the authors thought that. Those authors are unknown to me. Looking at the actual nodes, I see that they are mostly also tagged with the WSV import data.
As many of the obstacle=bridge tagged nodes date back to 2007/8, my guess is this is a case of tag 'infection'. The recent mappers would have found many bridges on German waterway had obstacle=bridge tags & assumed that this was the way to tag them, then included those tags in the import.
