In the meantime, just like Jeroen mentioned, I have created a 
postgis-enabled schema on my home server and loaded the turkey extract 
from geofabrik on it.

Nearly a full day of upgrading various software, half an hour of trying 
to understand the instructions on the maposmatic git repo, and 7:30 
minutes of actually loading data with osm2psql :-)

But now, I'm quite lost again, this time lacking any good knowledge of 
postgis. Could I please have some hints as to how the database is 
queried for valid objects for the maposmatic dropdown?

Also, if I have the extents of the boundary in degrees, can I use 
postgis to calculate this into kilometers or would I have to create some 
program for this?
