The historic Strauch degree measurement column was part of the degree measurement and triangulation in the Kingdom of Saxony and thus part of land surveying. The Strauch station from 1866 still functioned as the center of the surveying station until 1959. The Nagelsche pillar is today a technical monument on Heideberg.

Hiking

It's always worth it!
But the tower is currently closed due to construction work.
It's not open to climb.
