"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 goal was to record the territory with scientific and geodetic precision and, by establishing permanently marked reference points, to create the basis for the production of accurate maps. The Großenhain baseline was chosen as the scale base." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S%C3%A4chsische_Triangulirung

The Bräunsdorf station on the Wäschberg is beautifully located in central Saxony at the transition from the Saxon Hills to the Ore Mountains. The panoramic view included the stations of Obergruna, Udohöhe, Sachsenburg, Reichenbachhöhe, Marbachhöhe, and Wetterhöhe.
