Yes, that is a OGC WKT geometry description. You can use the GeometryReplacer to do that, select the correct encoding (OGC Well Known Text) and the attribute. Then use a CoordinateSystemSetter afterwards to set the correct coordinate system, I am assuming LL84 in which case these geometries end up somewhere in Noord Holland.

Thanks for the answer, it works
