This trigonometric station constitutes part of a local geodetic network within Germany's surveying infrastructure. Positioned near Rudolstadt in Thuringia, the point lies at coordinates 50.73409°N, 11.31211°E. As a trig point, this benchmark serves fundamental roles in establishing horizontal control for mapping, land surveying, and engineering projects across its service region. Such stations provide essential reference geometry for both classical triangulation networks and modern coordinate systems. The local network classification indicates primary utility for regional survey operations rather than national primary geodetic networks. Elevation data for this station has not been recorded in available documentation. Verification and documentation of established benchmarks remain valuable for surveying professionals undertaking positional work in Thuringia, ensuring continuity of reference systems for construction, cadastral, and infrastructure projects. Locating and confirming coordinates of such points strengthens the geodetic foundation for contemporary surveying applications.

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.
