      Historical survey pillar from 1878:

      In the Kingdom of Prussia, between 1875 and 1895, under the leadership of the general and geodata scientist Oskar Schreiber (1829 - 1905), an exemplary main triangle network with a previously unknown high quality was set up. This was later expanded to the German main triangle network (DHDN), which for over 100 years formed the geodetic basis for the official property cadastre and for the topographical survey in Germany.

      The first main triangle point in Hesse was established in 1878 on the 750 m high Meissner. The marking was carried out with a +3.5 m high and three-tiered mighty monument made of red sandstone. A metal bolt on the top of the upper sandstone pillar marks the location center.

      The monument on the Meissner from 1878 is the largest surveying pillar in Hesse.

      It was entered into the monument register in 1985 because of its historical significance.
