This trigonometric station forms part of a local geodetic network in Bavaria, Germany. Located near Reichenbach at coordinates 50.43945°N, 11.43688°E, it serves as a reference point for surveying and mapping operations within the region. Trig stations of this classification historically supported terrestrial triangulation methods essential to establishing accurate horizontal control networks. As a local network monument, this point contributes to the broader framework of German geodetic infrastructure at the regional level. The absence of recorded elevation data underscores the importance of field verification and documentation efforts. Surveyors and geodetic professionals benefit from locating, confirming, and updating such benchmarks to maintain spatial reference accuracy for contemporary applications including cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems. Systematic registry maintenance ensures continued utility of these established control points.

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.
