When the quarry was still a mountain, the "Frauenberg" Royal Saxon Triangulation Station existed on its summit.

Today, the flooded quarry is still a popular bathing destination.

"The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with its historical proper name) is a national survey carried out between 1862 and 1890 on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony, with the simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network.

The aim was to record the territory of the state with scientific and geodetic precision and to create the basis for the production of precise maps by establishing permanently marked fixed points." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S%C3%A4chsische_Triangulirung

The triangulation network created by August Nagel was considered one of the most precise survey networks in the world at the time.

The Nagel columns are now preserved as technical monuments. (unfortunately not here)

The stations Hohburg, Collm, Deditzhöhe, Ballendorf, Trages, Crossen, Wachau, Leipzig and Schwarzeberg were observed from the station.
