Thank everybody for your help. The solution is

double x_geo1 = 0, y_geo1 = 0;
double pi = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795;
double rho = 180 / pi;
double er = 6371000;

x_geo1 = (((x * rho) / er) * 100000);
y_geo1 = ((2 * rho * (java.lang.Math.atan(java.lang.Math.exp(y / er))
- pi / 4)) * 100000);

However, the converted coordinates for north (e.g. Norwegian or
Finland) are not very precise, but I suppose this cased by mercator
system itself and old and incomplete maps we used for geocoding.

Best regards,
Andrej
