    The Royal Saxon triangulation (here with the historical proper name) is a carried out in the years 1862 to 1890 on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony surveying with simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network. The aim was to record the national territory in a scientific-geodetic manner and to create the basis for the production of precise map works by establishing permanently marketable fixed points. As a basis of scale, the Großenhainer baseline was determined.

      Since 1915, the 23 meter high water tower Rückmarsdorf is located on the Wachberg.
      It is operated by Heimatverein Rückmarsdorf and is open every first Sunday of the month.

        The 23 m high water tower from 1914 was not operated in 1984, and should be demolished. He is now cared for by an association, and you can also visit him.

          In 1865, the Royal Saxon triangulation put a topographical point on the Wachberg.
          This is still on original Höhge.
          The environment was removed at the water tower about 50 cm.

            The 133.6 meter high Wachberg is a natural elevation in the district of Rückmarsdorf (southeast of the old town centre). It is part of the Dehlitz-rückmarsdorf terminal moraine and forms the highest natural point in the west of Leipzig.
            Originally the hill was called Ricmersberg. During the Thirty Years' War it was given the name "Wachberg" because of its function as a vantage point with a remarkable view.
            On May 2, 1813, a battle between the Prussian troops of General F. Kleist (1763–1823) and a French unit1) took place on the Wachberg. In 1836 a Dutch windmill was built on the Wachberg, which operated until it was demolished in 1930.
            In 1865, the Royal Saxon Triangulation placed a topographical point on the Wachberg. The 23 meter high water tower Rückmarsdorf has been on the Wachberg since 1915.
            In 1988, a memorial stone was dedicated to commemorate the battle of May 2, 1813, which is based on the Apelsteinen in shape and design.

                From Wachberg, it is worth taking a look over the city at a picnic.
