Hey Everybody,
is it possible to create Course-Categorys with help a CSV-FILE.
I have only find information to bulk-uploads for coursers, but NOT for Course-Categorys.
Hanks Everyone for help.

This is not currently possible in standard Moodle, but if you have access to the command line on the server, you can use Moosh to do this: https://moosh-online.com/commands/ using the category-create command.
Hello Moritz,
I have already replied to you in the German-speaking forum, maybe it's also interesting for english speaking community: it's not the same like uploading a csv, but an other possibility is using the webREST interface and you don't need access to the command line on the server. You have to use the function "core_course_create_categories", you also need a webREST-user and a token.
You need to know the ID of the parent course category (= parent) and the name/ID-number of the new course categorie. E.g. for creating the category "1.term" in the parent course category 10 its like:
https://mymoodle//webservice/rest/server.php?wstoken=XYZ&moodlewsrestformat=json&wsfunction=core_course_create_categories&categories[0][name]=1.term&categories[0][parent]=10&categories[0][idnumber]=01term
You can use some scripts to create more webREST-calls (e.g. we are using the tool wget for reading several lines from one script-generated file).
It is a little bit tricky, but if you have more entries it could also be a good solution.
