[Qgis-user] Reproject from WGS84 (EPSG: 4326) to ETRS89/UTM32N (EPSG: 25832) considering the epoch

[Jochem Kail]

Dear all,

I would like to reproject a point layer with the CRS being WGS84 (EPSG 
4326) to the standard German CRS being ETRS89/UTM32N (EPSG 25832) with 
high precision < 1m. The geodatic datum ETRS89 did only correspond to 
WGS84 when it was established in 1989, but given that ETRS89 is 
plate-fixed but WGS84 is not, they presently differ by about 1m.

Although some post say that it is possible in QGIS to consider the epoch 
(time the data have been mapped) when reprojecting earth-fixed 
(non-plate fixed) geographic coordinates to a plate-fixed geodatic 
datum, I found no solution to do this in the QGIS GUI.

I really would appreciate if someone could explain in detail where and 
how to do this transformation in the GUI of QGIS.

Thanks

Jochem
