This trigonometric benchmark is part of a local geodetic network in Thuringia, Germany. Trig points serve as fundamental control stations for surveying operations, providing precise spatial reference data essential for mapping, construction projects, and land administration across the region. The coordinates 50.76211°N, 11.67585°E locate this point within the surveying infrastructure of eastern Germany. As a local network station, this benchmark contributes to the broader geodetic framework supporting both professional surveying work and public land records. The absence of recorded elevation data represents a documentation gap; verification and complete characterization of such points strengthens the reliability of regional spatial datasets. For surveying professionals, locating and confirming the condition of existing benchmarks remains valuable for establishing survey baselines and validating modern positioning techniques. Proper documentation of control points, including their physical condition and accessibility, supports continuity in surveying practices and quality assurance in spatial data collection.

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.
