Not the ones that someone could come up with, just the ones people do use.

Your examples are ridiculous though.. The meaning of "[G]esundheitszeugnis" can be derived if you understand the 2 words.

Meanwhile, a Bahnhof would be a "Yard/square of lanes" if one didn't get taught that it's "train station". Although I suppose anyone learning German will quickly learn that "Bahn" is something to do with trains. Unless it's Autobahn. Or Schwimmbahn.
