This trigonometric benchmark is part of a local geodetic network in Germany, situated near Rudolstadt in Thuringia. As a trig point, it served as a fundamental control station for surveying operations and map production within its regional network. Such points are typically established at prominent locations with good visibility for angular measurements and triangulation work. The benchmark's coordinates (50.73899°, 11.29645°) place it in the Thuringian landscape. Local networks like this one provide essential geodetic control for regional surveying projects, complementing the national reference framework. The elevation value remains unrecorded in current documentation. For surveying professionals, verification and documentation of such historical control points remains valuable. These benchmarks contribute to understanding local survey history and can serve as reference points for heritage surveys or comparative geodetic studies. Recording and maintaining accurate location data for these points supports continuity in surveying practice.

Geodetic context in Germany

The national geodetic reference in Germany is maintained by Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie (BKG). The active datum is ETRS89 / UTM. Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in Germany you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from osm_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
