[Qgis-user] Problem defining a projection

[Hinrich Paulsen]

Dear List,

I have a problem defining my own projection in QGIS. It is for 
Brandenburg, a province in Germany. The EPSG-Code to use is 325833 and 
the parameters are basically like EPSG 25833 except that the false 
easting is 3500000 instead of 500000. I have edited the file EPSG in 
/usr/share/proj/ but to no effect. After trying the 'Define your own 
projection' in QGIS it says that the proj4 projection definition is 
invalid. I have entered:  +proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=15 +k=0.99960000 
+x_0=3500000 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +units=m +no_defs

Can anybody point me to where I am going wrong?!

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Hinrich
