UPDATE 2: I even tried to reproject the layer in ArcMap, and it happens exactly the same as in QGIS, so the layer shifts slightly after reprojecting to EPSG:25832. Could it be, that the CRS of the original file is a custom CRS?

UPDATE 1: I asked a specific question to the reprojections here: pyQGIS: Reproject between ESRI:103974 - Germany_Zone_3 to EPSG:25832

Further, I inspected the layers more in detail.

The base layer in ArcMap is : EPSG:3857 WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere

The layer, which is correctly located in ArcMap has this CRS:

Projected Coordinate System:    Germany_Zone_3
Projection: Transverse_Mercator
False_Easting:  3500000,00000000
False_Northing: 0,00000000
Central_Meridian:   9,00000000
Scale_Factor:   1,00000000
Latitude_Of_Origin: 0,00000000
Linear Unit:    Meter

Geographic Coordinate System:   GCS_Deutsches_Hauptdreiecksnetz
Datum:  D_Deutsches_Hauptdreiecksnetz
Prime Meridian:     Greenwich
Angular Unit:   Degree

When I reproject in QGIS to EPSG then the layer has this CRS (which does not align with the above CRS):

Projected Coordinate System:    ETRS_1989_UTM_Zone_32N
Projection: Transverse_Mercator
False_Easting:  500000,00000000
False_Northing: 0,00000000
Central_Meridian:   9,00000000
Scale_Factor:   0,99960000
Latitude_Of_Origin: 0,00000000
Linear Unit:    Meter

Geographic Coordinate System:   GCS_ETRS_1989
Datum:  D_ETRS_1989
Prime Meridian:     Greenwich
Angular Unit:   Degree

I have a shapefile which shows correctly in ArcMap but in QGIS it is a bit shifted.

This is the shapefile in ArcMap

enter image description here

And this is it in QGIS: enter image description here

As you can see on the left side, there is a street which is a bit of a border when correctly displayed in ArcMap, but in QGIS the polygon lies over that street.

The CRS is ESRI-specific, maybe that is the cause?

This is the CRS of the polygon:

Projected Coordinate System:    Germany_Zone_3
Projection: Transverse_Mercator
False_Easting:  3500000,00000000
False_Northing: 0,00000000
Central_Meridian:   9,00000000
Scale_Factor:   1,00000000
Latitude_Of_Origin: 0,00000000
Linear Unit:    Meter

Geographic Coordinate System:   GCS_Deutsches_Hauptdreiecksnetz
Datum:  D_Deutsches_Hauptdreiecksnetz
Prime Meridian:     Greenwich
Angular Unit:   Degree

How can I correct it, so that it is correctly displayed in QGIS? I will need to transform the shapefile to ETRS_1989_UTM_Zone_N32 later on.

I would be very glad if someone knows how to handle this.

    You have different basemaps. Not all basemaps line up either. Have you tried using the same basemap in ArcGIS and QGIS?

    Are you sure that it's not one of the base map that is shifted ? Could you compare by using the same basemap ? also QGIS and ArcMap may use different transformation if a on the fly reprojection is used to display your shapefile did you check that ? are both project in the same CRS ?

    It should not be so ESRI specific. Isn't it basically this crs epsg.org/crs_31467/DHDN-3-degree-Gauss-Kruger-zone-3.html? I can see that Proj suggests a few different operations for going from EPSG:31467 into EPSG:32632 (UTM). I think that you should provide coordinates of one point in the source coordinate system and in the target coordinate system as ESRI converts them.

  • Are the project CRS the same in Arc & QGIS?

  • @user30184 Yes, I also get multiple suggestions in QGIS to reproject them, and I tried each one of them, but it didn't help. How can I provide one coordinate? For all others, I always use the basemap (it's a xyz-layer with google hybrid) and no data was shifted till now, therefore I assume, that it must be data which is not correctly projected.
