Your map extent should something like this EXTENT 3186000 5210000 4006000 6156000
PROJECTION "init=epsg:2166" #or "init=epsg:31467" END then your layer should show. Instead of Gauss-Krüger i would take EPSG:25832 (UTM32). It's the new official used projection for Germany . The layer will look the same as GK3. Arnd In Deutschland hat die Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Vermessungsverwaltungen der Länder der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (AdV) im Jahre 1991 die Einführung des ETRS89 als einheitliches amtliches Lagebezugssystem für ganz Deutschland beschlossen.

For that purpose mapserver (v. 5.6.5) and php-mapscript is used. The underlying geographic information is from a public domain shapefile containing postcode (PLZ) regions of germany: http://www.metaspatial.net/download/plz.tar.gz Details on that data in german: http://arnulf.us/PLZ There the data is described as originally been in "Gauß Krüger 3-Streifen", but the shapefile's data as beeing converted to EPSG:4326 (WGS84). The map should be rendered so that the width and height of germany are more or less like here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Deutschland_politisch_2010.png Without configured projections it looks like: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n1uobhd12xhsf4u/1ee63112dc71c15f1247994883aebc42.p ng So some projection is needed. One question is, what projection would be appropriate, I suppose something like "Alber's equal area" or "Gauß-Krüger zone 3" could do the trick. But before that I would be glad if an arbitrary projection would work at all... The map-file as generated via mapscript looks like (cut to the relevant part, as far as I understand it): MAP EXTENT 5.05686874304783 47.2 15.5931312569522 55.1 IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255 IMAGETYPE gif SIZE 1200 900 STATUS ON CONFIG PROJ_LIB "/usr/share/proj/" NAME "Germany" PROJECTION "init=epsg:2166" END LAYER NAME "0" PROJECTION "init=epsg:4326" END STATUS DEFAULT TYPE POLYGON UNITS METERS CLASS NAME "PLZ" STYLE ANGLE 360 COLOR 99 99 99 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 SYMBOL 0 WIDTH 1 END END END END With this map-file the PLZ layer is not displayed. If omitting the PROJECTION-section within the LAYER it is displayed. For reference: the whole zipped mapfile, containing the data: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sd65gc7dch7swh3/projection.complete.map.zip So: - What to do, to get projections working? - What kind of projection would be appropriate? Hints are most welcome.
