The '''Meridian 11°15 East of the [[IERS Reference Meridian]]''' was proposed as [[prime meridian]] by [[Arno Peters]] in the [[Peters World Map]].

The [[meridian]] is the [[antipode]] of 168°45' West of the [[IERS Reference Meridian]] which runs through the [[Bering Strait]] and was proposed as a new [[date line]]. On Peters World Map the easternmost part of Asia and [[Russia]] is not displayed left of [[Alaska]], as it is usually done, but on the right side as the rest of Russia and Asia.

The meridian, 11° 15' East of the IERS Reference Meridian traverses the city center of [[Florence]] in [[Italy]] and therefore is also known as '''Florence Meridian'''.

It passes through:
