The Berlin graticule is at latitude 52, longitude 13. Today's location

It completely encloses the cities of Berlin and Potsdam. It extends as far as Zehdenick and Joachimsthal to the north, Luckenwalde to the south, Storkow and Falkenberg to the east and Potsdam to the west. It also contains a part of the Spreewald and some nice lakes, and a lot of arable land, particularly in Brandenburg.

Local and visiting geohashers are recommended to join the Facebook group so we can easily notify each other of interesting hashes.

Upcoming Locations

  • On the German Unification Day (national holiday Tag der deutschen Einheit) almost in the middle of Berlin, just one kilometer away from the former Berlin Wall, apparently on a public street next to the church Gethsemanekirche: 2014-10-03_52_13. Unfortunately a bit far for me to go there :-(. --Fluxkompensator (talk) 12:13, 2 October 2014 (EDT)

New hashes are announced at 15:30 local time on the previous day, and on Friday for Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

If you actually plan to visit a hash, please create the appropriate wiki page. Others[tm] might be more likely to join in. Subscribe to the RSS or ATOM feeds to be notified of any changes made to this page.
