"The Royal Saxon Triangulation is a state survey carried out in the years 1862 to 1890 on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony with the simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S%C3%A4chsische_Triangulirung

From each of these pillars one had visual axes to the surrounding elevations, the distances between which could be measured in this way.
The most prominent in the view of the Gohligs are probably the Borsberg, the Wilisch, the Kahleberg, the Cottaer Spitzberg, Lilienstein and Großer Zschirnstein, although there were no measuring axes for the latter.

The Royal Saxon Triangulation was a large-scale surveying project carried out in the Kingdom of Saxony between 1862 and 1902. The aim was to measure the country precisely and determine geographic coordinates in order to create better maps. The survey covered numerous points throughout the kingdom and 36 1st order and 122 2nd order triangulation pillars were erected, including the triangulation pillar on the Gohilg. The survey results formed the basis for the creation of the first topographical map of the Kingdom of Saxony.
