EPSG:31466

DHDN / 3-degree Gauss-Kruger zone 2

Selected transformation

Method: NTv2

Grid Files: BETA2007.gsb

Remarks: Developed for ATKIS (Amtliches Topographisch-Kartographisches Informationssystem [Official Topographic and Cartographic Information System]). Provides a uniform transformation across the whole country. May be used as tfm to WGS 84 - see tfm code 15949.
