Program Description

ORTWIN is a program for the state-wide inquiry of the 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
