In order to create precise topographic maps, triangulation pillars weighing tons were erected in exposed locations between 1822 and 1837. A total of 41 survey marks, so-called triangle points, first and second classes, were erected for the Hessian main triangulation (breakdown of the area into triangles). The measuring instrument could be positioned precisely over the cross cut in the center of the pillars and surrounding points could be precisely measured. Source: information board.
