Triangulation Column No. 59 (Dittershöhe Station)

The Nagelsche Column, Station 59, is rather inconspicuous on Dittershöhe.
Unfortunately there is no direct access. So a little has to be walked across the field.
The cross on the column was added later and must be removed again to restore the original condition.
When the weather is clear, you have a wonderful 360 ° panoramic view from here.

"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 triangulation columns are listed as technical monuments.

As already mentioned,
there is no direct access to the column.A little further along the accessible path, there are signposts,
one of which points the way:
