What is EPSG:25833?
ETRS89 / UTM zone 33N, the grid of the eastern German states such as Berlin, Brandenburg and Saxony, for land between 12° and 18° east.
What are the units and axis order of EPSG:25833?
Metres, counted from a false origin of 500,000 m east and 0 m north. Most GIS software writes easting first, then northing; check the order of your source data when a point lands in the wrong place.
How do I use EPSG:25833 in QGIS?
To show the map in it: Project > Properties > CRS, search 25833. To save a layer in it: right-click the layer, Export > Save Features As, and pick EPSG:25833. Set Layer CRS only labels a file whose system is missing; it does not move the data.
Is EPSG:25833 the same as WGS 84?
Nearly: its datum sits within two metres of WGS 84, so the converter applies no shift between them. For survey-grade work, use the official transformation of the national mapping agency.
