Height Reference Systems

• Introduction
• The German height reference system
• The European height reference system 
• Geoid and Gravity field modelling 

Introduction

The work of the BKG in the field of the reference systems "height" includes the realization of height reference systems within the national and European frameworks, the determination of regional gravity field and geoid models consistent with these systems as well as the provision of information about European coordinate reference systems, and also about projects dedicated to the realization of the latter.
