Program Description

ORTWIN is a program for the state-wide inquiry of the cities and towns, localities, postal codes and telephone selections in Germany. It finds postal zip codes, telephone pre selections, coordinates and ground level elevations. The program determines municipal codes, local center points, car license codes, topographic maps, Unlocodes and much more. It arranges localities hierarchically into the structures federal state, administrative district, rural district, town, municipality, local quarter and domicile. The program performs perimeter searches and distance calculations. It finds landscapes on different levels, natural units and snow- and wind load zones of all localities.

In a radius around a place or around a postal code area covered localities and postal areas can be clearly represented by a comfortable perimeter search. They can also be arranged in a list, stored as a file and printed.

For the local inquiries and perimeter searches a data base with more than 105.000 geo coded localities is available. The program represents local data, determined by local inquiries and perimeter searches, in graphic overviews and data lists.

The program supports conversions between different coordinate systems and the distance calculation between the places. It calculates with Gauss Krueger coordinates referring to the Potsdam Datum (Bessel ellipsoid, Rauenberg) and with Geographic Coordinates on the geodetic datum WGS84. It also works with UTM coordinates, which refer to the datum ETRS89 (GRS80, geocentric).

Ortschaften und Ortsteile können durch die Eingabe bereits bekannter Daten in die Eingabefelder der Datenfenster, durch das Anklicken in Übersichtskarten oder durch die Auswahl aus sortierten Listen ermittelt werden. Zur Berechnung können in das Informationsfenster des Programms die hier aufgeführten Werte direkt eingegeben werden:

  1. Gauß-Krüger Koordinaten (auch aus dem "falschen" Meridianstreifen)
  2. Geographische Koordinaten in der DMS-Notation
  3. Geographische Koordinaten in der dezimalen Notation
  4. UTM-Koordinaten
  5. Ortsnamen und Ortsteilnamen
  6. Gemeinde-ID (8-stelliger Gemeindeschlüssel)
  7. Neue Postleitzahl
  8. Alte Postleitzahl
  9. Telefonvorwahl

Zur direkten Auswahl stehen zur Verfügung:

  1. Bundesweite graphische Übersichtskarte
  2. Nach Bundesländern geordnete Liste mit Ortsnamen
  3. Nach Regierungsbezirken geordnete Liste mit Ortsnamen
  4. Nach Kreisen / Landkreisen geordnete Liste mit Ortsnamen

Network ability

ORTWIN can be run on most common networks. The client installations works automatically. It is possible to use Terminal Services on WINDOWS Servers like e.g. "Citrix Terminal Server".

Hardware and operating system requirements

Because the program ORTWIN is a quite complex database application, some requirements to the hardware are to be fulfilled for its perfect working. To ensure stable performance it should be installed on a personal computer with the processor class 80486 or higher and at least 32 MB RAM available. The program will run under Microsoft WINDOWS 95 / 98 / 2000 / XP / NT / Vista / 7 and compatible operating systems.
