Johann Carl Adolf von Nostitz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Carl Adolf von Nostitz (* 1743 ; † 1800 ) was a German soldier and owner of a manor .

Monument that the widow had erected in 1801 on the Nostitzhöhe (today's name Monumentberg ).

From 1774 he was prime lieutenant in the Electoral Saxon army with promotions in 1786 to captain and in 1793 to major .

The manor Groß Radisch had been owned by the noble family Nostitz since 1682 . During his reign he and his wife promoted the construction of the new church in the royal Saxon village. After his death, as a result of the Wars of Liberation in 1815, the estate became part of the Rothenburg district of the Prussian province of Silesia . Today it is part of the Saxon Upper Lusatia .

In 1801, the widow had a monument erected on the Monumentberg east of Groß Radisch as a memorial, which was still known as Nostitzhöhe in the late 19th century .

Nostitzhöhe

From 1863, the Royal Prussian Geodetic Institute used the podium of the observation tower at that time for the assembly of a surveying column. The institute referred to the TP of the Central European Degree Measurement and, later, the Royal Saxon Triangulation with the name Nostitzhöhe and the consecutive number 2.
