    "The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with the historical proper name) is a land survey carried out in the years 1862 to 1890 on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony with simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network.

    The aim was to record the national territory scientifically and geodetically and to create the basis for the production of precise maps by defining permanently marketed fixed points. " % C3% A4xian_triangulation
    The triangulation network created by August Nagel was considered one of the most accurate surveying networks in the world at the time.
    The Nagel columns are preserved today as technical monuments.

    From the "Fichtelberg" station, the first order stations from SW.n.NO. Kapellenberg, Aschberg, Kuhberg, Röben and Pfaffenberg, Collm, Udohöhe, Kahleberg and Bernstein,
    as well as an additional 2nd order (closer meshed, more precise) from.W.n.NO. Auersberg, Hirschensprung, Schatzenstein, Scheibenberg, Pöhlberg, Bärenstein and Hirtstein.

      Historical measuring point of the Royal Saxon Triangulation. The most accurate measurement at the time.
      Due to the new construction of the Fichtelberghaus in 1965, the column was moved around 80 m to the south. That explains the fluctuating altitude of the Fichtel: 1214 or 1215m.

        There are numerous steles here. It is very fascinating what effort was made in the past to measure your land and also to mark it.
