The triangulation network (triangle network) of the Kingdom of Saxony represented the most accurate Central European land survey for its time. The inscription on the column reads:
Station Sandberg of the Royal Saxons. Triangulation 1876
The pillar marks the altitude reference point 543.4 m above sea level and was also used as a signal point during maneuvers by the imperial general staff. Signals were transmitted to other stations using large special mirrors.
