untrue size of Berlin's Memorial of Europe's murdered Jews
Posted by malenki on 9 January 2015 in English.Just realised that the steles forming the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe don’t have the correct size. Though I salute to the mapper who mapped the memorial: is there someone who can give the steles their true size? Regarding to wikipedia they are 2.38m to 0.95m (with different height values).
I created one with the exact measures but think that it takes a little more to create all of them in file.

Do you also know the space between the stones?
Else, I would suggest a scripted method:
Of course, the result has to be checked in JOSM before the upload.
This method would work best when you have a high-precision position available for the site, or for one of the stones. If you don’t have that position, you can still work from an estimated position. In that case, the relative distances would still be correct, and when an exact position is known, all stones can be shifted together.

I don’t have more knowledge as described above. The aerial imagery is not too good, too. Maybe the operating foundation is willing to share some data?
