Jörg,

these are NDB's (non directional beacons) of 
airports, airstrips and heliplatforms. They are used for navigation.
A full list compiled by PA0RDT can be found at 
http://www.beaconworld.org.uk/roelof/RoelofsNDBOffsets2007.pdf
I can hear a lot of these NDB's in the 460-525kHz 
range every night and find them very useful to check propagation.
