map instructions

• this is a little bit tricky - don't worry if you don't know how to do this, somebody else will do it for you

1. find out geographical coordinates (e.g. from corresponding Wikipedia article, preferred format: deg and minute)
2. convert the coordinates for the template "MapPunkt", e.g. using this tool (in german)
3. add a new MapPunkt-template
