Hi,
while not being very familiar with datum transformations, a suggestion
to below problem. The Peter Dana's web site shows a different
Potsdam_Rauenberg_DHDN datum:
http://www.colorado.Edu/geography/gcraft/notes/datum/dlist.html
A quick try:
cs2cs +proj=latlong +datum=WGS84 +to +init=epsg:31494 +towgs84=606,23,413
Some results with above datum:
Frans de Roos tried:
lat/long 11.60608768 48.25167084
new cs2cs: 4470850.92 5346045.81
expected: 4470860.075 5346044.934 (less error than he got, see below)
Harald Wehr tried:
lat/long 10.69079E 51.86134N
new cs2cs: 4409913.94 5748285.09
expected: 4409920 5748280 (less error than he got, see below)
