The problem with that is they will all have the same settings, so you couldn't make them sub cats unless they all went under the same sub cat and the description would be the same for all.
It all depends on where your category data comes from... there's an available importer to add categories for states and counties, for example, and the flat file importer for gossamer links could be adapted to import categories from other flat file formats.

Hello,
I have to input more than 30.000 categories.
If I have to do this manually it´s going to take me ages...
Is there a plugin that does this automatically or is there any good description
about the (categories) table in the mysql database so I can write my own
importer ?

One way to do it is like
cat[,]cat 2[,]cat3[,]cat4[,]cat5
