This trigonometric benchmark is part of the Neu-Belgisch-Luxemburgische Zwischensteine network, a historical geodetic infrastructure connecting Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. Located at 50.16219°N, 6.03395°E in French territory, this trig point served as a control station within the broader triangulation framework used to establish accurate positional references across the Franco-Belgian-Luxembourgian border region. Such triangulation stations were essential for precise surveying and mapping operations. The elevation data for this benchmark has not been recorded in current documentation. Verification and documentation of surviving trig points from this historical network remain valuable for understanding regional geodetic heritage and for validating legacy survey data. Professional surveyors may reference this point when conducting historical analysis or establishing connections to older cadastral surveys.
