The Morgenbrodstal valley was one of many spots in the Harz mountains where Venetians made their fortunes.

I've been looking at assorted ways how to (a) replace my German Folklore Map with something #OpenStreetMap -based (b) making it filterable based on narrative elements (such as "dragon", "treasure", and so forth), and (c) integrating it into my new #Mediawiki wiki.
Based on my investigations so far, I think my best bet is to put all the map information into a #GeoJSON files, and add the element I want to filter by as Properties of the elements.
The trick seems to be which Mediawiki extensions - Map, Kartogtapher and so forth - allow me to filter these Properties so that I can create a custom map that (for example) only displays all markers tagged with "dragon" without having to create a custom GeoJSON file for each variant map.
Can anyone help me out?

I should point out that my interest is less in traditional "fairy tales" than in local local legends. The former tend to be more universal in their narratives, while the latter are deeply embedded in local geography, history, and culture.
I've even put most of these tales on an interactive map - either the town where they come from, or the actual place where the legend supposedly took place. You can see them for yourself on this interactive map!

Apart from that, one of my major interests are tabletop role-playing games - another form of oral storytelling which IMO is a worthy successor to the oral storytellers of old.

My name is Jรผrgen, and I translate old German folk tales into English - not just tales from the Brothers Grimm, but from the hundreds of other 19th century German folklorists out there.
To date, I have translated more than 800 tales. You can learn more about my project here (and you can get a free ebook version of my first book if you subscribe to my newsletter there):
