Hi Michael Malicky,

you will have to create a location containing the gauß-krüger
data, and a second location with lat-/long settings (empty).

Then go into lat/long-location and transform the gauß-krüger-data
with v.proj. It will ask you for the source (gk) location and
get this dataset into the new lat/long location.

In case you don't know the lat-/long coordinates:
To convert the corner coordinates of your gk-location use 
m.proj to receive the corresponding lat/long values.

Hope this helps! In case of problems, please contact me.

Cheers

 Markus
