The redshift space galaxy power spectrum is estimated using magnitude-limited samples of up to 87,558 galaxies with redshifts z ≤ 0.2 and magnitudes rF ≤ 18.0 mag. Although the random redshift errors are comparatively large (σz = 0.031), the present survey sample gives reliable power spectral densities for wavenumbers 0.0125 ≤ k ≤ 0.15 h Mpc–1 corresponding to wavelengths 40 ≤ λ ≤ 500 h–1 Mpc. The Muenster Redshift Project data give a clear indication for the existence of a turnover in the shape of the power spectrum near wavelengths of 160 h–1 Mpc.
