Hi,
This coordinates are UTM 32. The first 2 numbers of the easting describe the
UTM strip (32). This notation is quite common (at least at  german federal
agency for cartography and geodesie). 
I could read about this problem quite often here in the mailing-archive, but
I couldn't find any solution. Is there a possibility to correct the gtiff .
The federal agenceny explains:
"As download text files are offered that contain a definition of the
georeferencing for use in the PROJECT command of ArcInfo Workstation. For
the UTM projections the indication "xshift 3..." applies to a use of the
parameters under OUTPUT. For a use under INPUT "xshift -3..." has to be
applied or the accurate definition of your UTM coordinates has to be
considered, respectively."
Can gdalwarp do any "xshifts" ?
Thanks for helping!
