It’s extremely common in Germany. Take Münster for example, there are at least 9 cities and towns with that name. Others include Berlin, Hagen, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Freiburg, and so on. It’s such an issue when trying to trace down ancestry as many records only include the city or town and not the state / region.
