Georeference point Schlossplatz (Castle Square) Freiberg
A geo-reference point can be used to check the positional accuracy of a navigation device. In private use, GPS devices are used as navigation aids when driving or hiking, for positioning photos and videos, for locating mobile phones or even for geocaching.
There are currently 11 geo-reference points in Saxony. A public reference point can now also be found in Freiberg. The geo-reference point was inaugurated during the 18th Geokinematic Day on 11 May 2017. The coordinates for the geo-reference point named after Friedrich Robert Helmert, founder of modern geodesy, are degrees decimal [latitude longitude]: 50.919790833°,13.340096167°. These were precisely measured by the Institute for Mine Surveying and Geodesy at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg. The reference plate with the geographical information is located on Schlossplatz, directly in front of the Krügerhaus.
Through this free service, Freiberg residents, tourists, hikers, cyclists and geocachers now have the opportunity to check the accuracy of their navigation devices. To do so, visitors can place their device on a marker and then compare the accuracy of the measurement with the information on the board of the reference point. The silver city of Freiberg and its surroundings can be explored in many ways. When the weather is nice, a cycling tour or hiking route invites visitors to get a breath of fresh air.
