compare: /var/www/colouring-london/app/src/frontend/map/search-box.tsx /var/www/colouring-london/app/src/frontend/map/search-box.css

perhaps, change search engine to nominatim API, which is running for German locations, as well ?

Aim is, that the user is able to type in locations in Germany (better: also within Dresden, Germany) to navigate easily to those locations

there are two options for the future: option A: changing searchbox in the database data to be able to use German postal codes and its polygons ... for the search option B: changing searchbox to use external nominatim geocoder API (or host an own instance of nominatim). it is OpenStreetMap based. and it can be used e.g. via npm packages offering interfaces for nominatim API
