Kilian, *****"dot matrix printed lists from the 1980s"***** I am impressed! This sounds like a perfect opportunity for some crowd-sourced lists on Wikipedia. It would be awesome to start a WikiProject specifically to do just this one set of lists in this one section of the country, and then maybe others will follow...
It could give a whole new meaning to Germany's nomination of "Wikipedia for World Heritage"!
