This trigonometric station forms part of the local geodetic network serving the Rosenthal am Rennsteig area in Thuringia, Germany. Located at coordinates 50.40082°N, 11.69946°E, this reference point contributes to regional surveying and mapping infrastructure. Trig stations of this classification typically serve as control points for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and spatial data collection within their designated networks. The point's role within local triangulation networks supports precision positioning for both historical and contemporary geodetic work. Documentation and periodic verification of such benchmarks remain important for maintaining survey accuracy and ensuring consistency across surveying initiatives. The absence of recorded elevation data underscores the value of updating registry information where measurements remain incomplete, enabling more robust utilization of the network by surveying professionals and spatial data practitioners.
