    Gaussian triangle point Deister I of the Hanoverian degree measurement 1821-1823. On this point, the mathematician and geodetic Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) conducted angle measurements with a theodolite in July 1822. Gauss vistaierte at that time free view distant targets in a triangle mesh. Unfortunately, no clear view today

      In the Deister, a mountain range almost 400 m high west of Hanover with a wide view of the north German lowlands, there are two Gauss stones. The survey point referred to here as Deister I is located in the southeastern Deister on the top of the Kalenberg. Gauss carried out degree measurements from here as early as 1822. The original Gaußstein was destroyed during the surveying work in the 1820s. The stone erected here today was moved here from Falkenberg in 1998.

        After the bark beetles and the dry summers had badly affected the conifers on the Kalenberg, almost all the trees have now been felled and wide views of the Calenberger Land and far beyond Hannover open up.
