addr:place
Description
The place name that this address is (and any others in this location are) grouped by. Grouping by a place name is used only when addressees are not grouped by a street. For example when the address is made up of just a number and village name.

OSM Tag History
Used when
addr:housenumber
=*
is not relating to a street but to other entity, usually a settlement.
This tag has a different meaning than
addr:suburb
=*
. If you’d like to indicate that the building is a part of a district or a suburb, you need to use
addr:suburb
=*
, not
addr:place
=*
. No object should have
addr:place
=*
and
addr:street
=*
at the same time.

Description
There are some legitimate cases when a street isn’t a part of an address. One common example are small villages in some countries (e.g. Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, Germany), in which there are just a few streets with no names, so there’s no street name to put into the address, and addresses usually look like
, e.g.
Steindorf 30
Tuchlinek 85
Rohovce 47
. Since the part of the address before the house number is
not
, in fact, a street name, it would be wrong to put it into the
addr:street
=*
tag: we would either need to put the name of the village on all actually unnamed streets in the village, thus violating the
ground truth
principle, or the software might start complaining there isn’t a street with such a name.
When using
addr:place
=*
, make sure to keep the name consistent with the
place
=*
object which the house number refers to. There are some rare cases where no such place exists. There is no need to add a made-up place object in this case. Just enter the name as it occurs in the address.

Nominatim QA site
The Nominatim QA site
identifies
objects that incorrectly have both addr:place and addr:street tags. These data are wrong because delivery points (e.g. house numbers) are grouped either to a street or to a larger place. addr:place and addr:street should therefore not be used together. To fix these errors set only addr:place or addr:street but not both on the same object. Usually addr:place should be changed to something like addr:suburb or addr:city.
