As you can see from the data and wikipedia: the city name is Remscheid
and nothing else. Thus every address has Remscheid has city name.

In theory you could modify the rules for mkgmap:city in your own style, 
so that Lennep is used as city and not Remscheid (which means, you could
only search for Lennep and will not find it anymore in Remscheid).
But in this case it's not possible, since there are no 
admin boundaries for Lennep (I think in this case it would be
admin_level 9-11).
