It's not clear if the part of the road inside the tunnel is named at all 
(perhaps not, as it might not serve any practical purpose).

I see no problem with adding tunnel:name=* in addition to name=*.

However, name=* should always contain the primary name of a feature. For a road 
tunnel, the primary name is typically the tunnel's name, as the tunnel is 
usually a more prominent feature than the road is.

Therefore the tag name=Schlossbergtunnel shouldn't be removed.
