About

49 8 as of 1681

This graticule is at latitude 49, longitude 8 and is Germany's most active. It contains the Rhein-Neckar-Triangle, a densely populated region around Mannheim, Ludwigshafen and Heidelberg. Mannheim is not only the graticule's largest city (it's the second-largest city in Baden-Württemberg after the capital Stuttgart), it is also located in the exact center of this graticule.

It includes the southern half of Mainz (the capital of Rheinland-Pfalz) as well as the northern portion of Karlsruhe. It contains large parts of the Odenwald in the east and a little part of the Palatinate Forest in the west.

Length of the graticule: 1.852 km * 60 = 111.12 km; average width: 1.852 km * 60 * cos(49.5°) = 72.17 km; area = 8019.5 km²

Statistically, once every three years a hashpoint hits France in the most southwestern part (7.68 km² ⇒ 0.096 %) of the graticule. Since the beginning of geohashing in 2008, this happened 2014-10-16, 2015-01-28 and 2016-02-22.

According to land usage and the administrative division of this graticule, the chance for your hash to fall into one of the following areas is: 

41.97 % Fields                40.2 % Rhineland-Palatinate
29.35 % Natural reserves      29.4 % Hesse
13.52 % Forests               30.3 % Baden-Württemberg
 5.10 % Roads                  0.1 % France
 4.95 % Settlements
 4.62 % Highways
 0.49 % Water

Upcoming Locations and Expedition Planning

Expeditions

On 2015-11-22 the Mannheim graticule reached the second place in expedition-counts with 337 expeditions in almost 8 years. This happened because of great teamwork. I assume there's no other graticule that has been visited by so many hashers (there should be a statistic about that).

First place in expedition-counts

The next aim was: Reaching more expeditions than the Atlanta graticule; see most active graticules.

On 2016-04-22 the Mannheim graticule caught up with Atlanta for the first time (with 381 expeditions), but only for one day.

And on 2016-05-21 Mannheim reached the first place in expedition-counts with 383 expeditions.

Since 2016-07-16 Norwich is in first place at most active graticules.

2014

For the first time in the history of geohashing the most active graticule of a year is not situated in the United States in 2014. Thanks to the great teamwork of Chemluth, Danatar, Deuded, DLichti, DODO, Ekorren, Elimik31, EmmJay, Funkwecker, GeorgDerReisende, gunpowdertea, ilpadre, LadyBB, Lambda, Mampfred, Q-Owl, Q-Owla, RecentlyChanged, Rincewind, Snoopy, tads, Thomcat and Yakamoz this graticule has the honor to bear this ribbon.

Special thanks and a very honorable mention must be given to GeorgDerReisende, who generously helped to achieve this success, although his own graticule was so close to gain this ribbon and was in the pole position for more than half of the year from 2014-06-22 until 2014-12-28 (when DODO was to greedy to grant it to him). This is very notable since GeorgDerReisende was the only one, who visited a hashpoint in this graticule in 2014 at all.
