Unknown gelocation / latitude longitude format

I have geodata from a database in the form of e.g.:

565123.71392795,5930168.553

When looking for the general region of 56°,59° I can tell that this is completely wrong. The location should be somewhere around 53.5°,10° Is this even a valid geolocation format?

Solution

  • It is the UTM Format or Universal Transverse Mercator format. As the Location is in Germany it should be: 32U565....,59301...
