In current OSM I can not find a boundary for the region Allgäu. What admin_level should be used for this German region Allgäu ? Or perhaps admin_level should be used at all for Allgäu as it is a region in Germany without adminstrative. Why can't I find this region in OSM? How should it be tagged?

Don't try to map boundaries that are not well defined. Regions like "Allgaü", "Alpenregion" or "Rheintal" are loosely defined, they do not have a sharp boundary. OSM can only record precise boundaries. Therefore all you can do is place a node with "place-region". Do not try to map the region as a polygon; it will be deleted. answered 09 Aug '23, 09:14 Frederik Ramm ♦ Thanks Frederik for explaining. I don´t know if the "Allgäu" region is well defined or not. If yes then I would assume it should be mapped by a relation of lower-level admin_level entries.
