Technical Specification Overview
| Parameter | Standard Value |
|---|---|
| Primary Geodetic Datum | ETRS89 |
| Legacy/Historical Datum | DHDN / PD83 |
| Local Grid Projection | Gauss-Krüger |
| Known Datum Shift (vs WGS84) | 150 - 200 meters |
| National Mapping Authority | BKG (Bundesamt für Kartographie) |
Professional Compliance Warning
Failure to apply correct transformation parameters when converting from WGS84 (GPS) to ETRS89 creates a systematic 150 - 200 meters offset. In construction and legal surveying, this drift exceeds the allowable error margin for any certified geodetic workflow.
