Guericke est le reste d'un cratère (58 Km) situé dans la partie nord de la Mer des Nuées (Mare Nubium). Sa muraille est très érodée, et en partie submergée par la lave qui recouvre le fond. Elle ne forme plus qu'une série d'arêtes qui se joignent aux élévations qui courent au nord-ouest, et au sud. Le reste inondé de Guericke F est attaché à l'extérieur du mur sud-ouest. A l’intérieur  des monticules marquent la surface ainsi que deux craterlets D (8 Km et H (6km) au sud-ouest. Au nord ouest s’étendent Les restes de Parry (48 Km) et Bonpland (60 Km)

Guericke is the remnant of a lunar crater at the north part of the Mare Nubium. To the north-northwest lies the large Fra Mauro formation, along with the co-joined Parry and Bonpland craters. To the east are the Kundt and Davy craters.

The surviving rim of Guericke crater has been worn, battered, and partly submerged by the basaltic lava that covers the floor. The wall is now little more than a circular series of ridges that join with rises that flow to the north, northwest, and south. The flooded crater remnant 'Guericke F' is attached to the southwest exterior. The interior flood has a few small rises in the otherwise nearly flat surface. Two craterlets mark the floor in the southwest quadrant.
