x 2 (Gauss–Krueger) = −82 350.056 m, y 2 (Gauss–Krueger) = 5 963 764.424 m.
Easting: 5 417 649.944 m, Northing: 5 963 764.424 m.
Important!
The point 6 is located 82 350.056 m West of the reference meridian with the meridian number
5, that is L 0 = 15
◦ and 5 963 464.424 m North of the equator.

If we choose a Universal Transverse Mercator Projection as our reference system, we have to acknowledge that the central meridian is not equidistantly mapped. Instead, two meridians West and East of
the central meridian are mapped equidistantly.
