Transforming heights (Germany)

I need to transform XYZ data from the currently used DHHN2016 height (EPSG:7837) to the older DHHN12 height (EPSG:7699). Unfortunately, the various transforming options don't seem to be able to do this. E. g. EsriReprojector, with "Use Vertical Transformation" checked, only lists <None> as option under "Vertical Transformation". 

To complicate things further, the switch to DHHN2016 did not happen directly from DHHN12, but first to DHHN92. So the transformation might need to be done with an extra step: DHHN2016 height (EPSG:7837) -> DHHN92 height (EPSG:5783) -> DHHN12 height (EPSG:7699). However there is no option for this way either.

Perhaps a combination is necessary? In this case it would be 25832+7837 to 31468+7699 (or 25832+7837 -> 31468+5783 -> 31468+7699).

 

I added the Reproject files to the install directory but that had no effect. I also don't have "PROJReprojector" available for some reason(?).

Hi ​@riplizard,

Due to an oversight, there were a few transformers not available in Data Interop for ArcGIS Pro 3.4. To rectify this, please unzip the attached file into your C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Data Interoperability for ArcGIS Pro folder.

Hi ​@riplizard,

If you download and install the Reprojection Grid Files from safe.com/download, the grid to convert from DHHN2016 to EVRF2019 will be included, allowing you to use the DHHN2016-EVRF2019 conversion in the CsmapReprojector transformer, or DHHN2016_Height_To_EVRF2019_Height_2 in the EsriReprojector.

I did a web search for grids to convert to DHHN12 or DHHN92, but had no luck finding any. If you know where to source these grids, I would be happy to help you set them up for use in FME.
