EPSG:31468

DHDN / 3-degree Gauss-Kruger zone 4

Selected transformation

Method: Position Vector transformation (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Parameter values taken from RD/83 to ETRS89 (1) (tfm code 15868) assuming that within the accuracy of the transformation ETRS89 is equivalent to WGS 84 and RD/83 is equivalent to DHDN.
