Dear Wolfgang, not sure how to guide you with your coordinates (in DMS writing) to the searched location in QGIS. But if you start *Google Earth* (standalone) and having set the coordinate system under *Tools* > *Options* to "Grad, Minuten, Sekunden" (= *D*egree *M*inutes *S*econds), you may set a new position mark (point) wherever you like and enter your coordinates in the appropriate fields. Better enter E for O. Have found your airport in Havelar just in a few seconds this way. You may exchange positions between QGIS and Google Earth using kml format files. Perhaps it's possible to enter also DMS-coordinates in QGIS. But I would rather calculate the appropriate DD (decimal degrees) coordinates and use these. Would be in your case 50.768889 N, 7.163333 E. If you enter a small limited text file (table) in QGIS with 7.163333 for X and 50.768889 N for Y direction you may import this directly in QGIS.
