From the astronomical station in 1866, with the assistance of the land registry office of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, measurements to determine the surface and shape of the earth were carried out.

The original location is marked by a plaque in the street.

A stone with a partly legible inscription recalls an old survey point from which degree measurements of the earth's surface were determined and calculated.
The stone was even built to protect a wooden projection!
A metal information board next to it reveals knowledge value & information.
