The Royal Saxon Triangulation was a national survey conducted between 1862 and 1890 that mapped the Kingdom of Saxony with a precise triangular network to create the basis for accurate maps. The network consisted of 158 points, including 36 main stations for the Central European Triangulation System, at which survey pillars were erected. These pillars are now technical monuments and bear witness to one of the most precise land surveys in Europe during the 19th century.
