This triangulation benchmark is a local-network control point located near Uhlstädt-Kirchhasel in Thuringia, Germany. At coordinates 50.73702°N, 11.46027°E, the point serves as a reference station within a regional geodetic framework. As a trig point, it provides essential horizontal positional control for surveying, mapping, and engineering applications across its service area. Local networks such as this support cadastral surveys, infrastructure projects, and spatial data management at municipal and regional scales. The absence of recorded elevation data highlights the importance of systematic verification and documentation of existing benchmarks. Surveying professionals should treat this point as a potential reference for establishing derived networks or validating measurement campaigns, provided the point's physical condition and accessibility can be confirmed on site. Continued maintenance and validation of such control points sustains geodetic infrastructure reliability.

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.
