EPSG:31467, DHDN / 3-degree Gauss-Kruger zone 3
DHDN / Gauss-Krüger zone 3, the old German grid on the DHDN (Potsdam) datum, for land around 9° east. ETRS89 / UTM zone 32N (EPSG:25832) replaced it in most states.

What is EPSG:31467?
DHDN / Gauss-Krüger zone 3, the old German grid on the DHDN (Potsdam) datum, for land around 9° east. ETRS89 / UTM zone 32N (EPSG:25832) replaced it in most states.
What are the units and axis order of EPSG:31467?
Metres, counted from a false origin of 3,500,000 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:31467 in QGIS?
To show the map in it: Project > Properties > CRS, search 31467. To save a layer in it: right-click the layer, Export > Save Features As, and pick EPSG:31467. Set Layer CRS only labels a file whose system is missing; it does not move the data.
Is EPSG:31467 the same as WGS 84?
No. It sits on the Bessel 1841 ellipsoid and needs a 7-parameter shift to reach WGS 84, which the converter applies. Skipping it moves points by tens to hundreds of metres.
