News

This website is undergoing major revision. Therefore, it is currently no longer updated, except for minor corrections.

As an intermediate step, an overview document about national height transformation surfaces (a.k.a. geoid models) has been compiled. It is available via the EVRS website under:
https://doi.org/10.71603/NatRefEurope

The information is based on the contributions that the bodies responsible for the national geodetic reference (e.g. national mapping agencies) have submitted since 2022. Besides information about the national height systems and geoid models, it also contains specifics of the current national ETRS89 realizations and their relations to the European realizations (ETRF). This information is relevant for centimeter accuracy and frequently not included in inventories of coordinate reference systems such as the EPSG.

For details, please refer to the corresponding EVRS website https://evrs.bkg.bund.de/Subsites/EVRS/EN/Results_and_Products/NationalRealizationsETRS89/national_realization.html.
