This trigonometric station is part of a local geodetic network in Thuringia, Germany, positioned near Saalfeld/Saale. As a trig point, it serves as a control station for surveying and mapping operations, providing precise horizontal positioning for regional geodetic work. The coordinates 50.63725°N, 11.30500°E establish its location within the framework of German surveying infrastructure. Local networks of this type function as secondary control points, supporting detailed surveys at municipal and regional scales. Such stations enable surveyors to reference measurements and maintain consistency across mapping projects. The elevation data for this point remains unrecorded in available documentation, representing a gap in the complete characterization of the site. Verification and documentation of active geodetic reference points, including monumentation status and coordinate accuracy, remain valuable for land surveying professionals and spatial data management. Recording such benchmarks in public registries preserves institutional knowledge and supports continuity in surveying practice.

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.
