Looking at bing aerials it seems to be very well mapped. There seems to be no area with tags on it to explain what it is, although tags on communication towers give enough idea what it should be.

Note: There seems to be some landuse areas impored (source=iCube) that have layer tags on them. This is wrong and should be corrected!

Is Mainhausen actually a village? Or is it an administrative/municipal area?
If its just an administrative area, then it is already mapped with a admin boundary relation, so the place=village node can be deleted. It looks like that node is from some sort of "openGeoDB" import, I don't know how accurate that is?

See the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainhausen
It describes Mainhausen as a "community", I don't know if that is equivalent to a village in Germany?

Good hint. One look in josm revealed that the area around the node Mainhausen is the site from which the DCF77 time signal is transmitted which belongs to Mainflingen ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainflingen )...
Mainhausen itself is the village to the left ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainhausen ).

Solution seems to be moving the node or merging it to the area of Mainhausen.
