Hi Torsten,
If your question is how do you get the (SRTM) data, try something
like:
http://edcsns17.cr.usgs.gov/NewEarthExplorer/ - Earth Explorer from the
USGS
Or http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/ - or various other places.
If you just want to use it as a basemap then I'm guessing you just
add it like a regular raster. If you want to use it to drape other data
over so you can do 3D I'm not sure if QGIS could do that or if it would be
the best solution - there are other open-source GIS's for that.
Hope that helps.

Subject: [Qgis-user] free DEM data in QGis
Sent by: [email protected]
Hi!
I'm novice to use free DEM data. I work on a medium (~60km) scale area in
Germany. It's basically about geology. As don't need accurate DEM data for
the
time being I read through google that gtopo30 or (even better ?) DTED data
from German Aerospace Center may be utilized, which are all free of
charge.
Actually I don't know where to start. Could anyone please give some
comments
about how would be the general procedure to load those data into QGis?
Useful
links are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Torsten
