MERIDIAN STONE

Zero point of a local survey network established in 1852 for mapping the Altenberg mining industry. The meridian is a survey line on the north-south axis that was established in the field using the zero point stone and the north and south meridian signs. The magnetic deviations from the meridian could now be determined continuously. To avoid measurement errors, measured compass values were converted to the local coordinates, taking into account the compass needle deviation. The meridian signs used to lie on a visual axis. The distance to the southern meridian sign is 950 m and to the northern meridian sign 1520 m. The meridian stone was also the reference point for local height measurements. His head height is 767.48m above sea level. NN.
