7. ↑ Monument text: In the period from 1862 to 1890, a state survey was carried out in the Kingdom of Saxony , in which two triangular networks were formed. On the one hand, there is the network for grade measurement in the Kingdom of Saxony (network I. class / order) with 36 points and the royal Saxon triangulation (network II. Class / order) with 122 points. This national survey was led by Prof. Christian August Nagel , according to which the triangulation columns are also referred to as "Nagelsche columns". This surveying system was one of the most modern layer networks in Germany. The surveying columns set for this purpose remained almost entirely in their original locations. They are an impressive testimony to the history of land surveying in Germany and in Saxony. The system of surveying columns of both orders is in its entirety a cultural monument of supraregional importance. The column stands at the height southwest of the village, in the middle of arable land at the southern exit of the village. The station was the measuring point for the basic magnification network, with which the first side of the triangle in the degree measurement network was calculated. The fixed point itself is integrated into the 2nd class network. The Nagelsche column was found at the original installation site. The 1.21 m high column made of Laußnitz granite stands on a slight hill, is heavily blackened, but hardly weathered. The inscription "Station / GROSS- / DOBRITZ / der / Kön: Sächs: / Triangulirung / 1866" can still be seen very clearly and is attached to the eastern side of the column. The slight rise is probably an embankment from the construction of the station. The cover plate is missing, the center and eccentric markings are damaged. The existing height bolt was broken off. The view is restricted by a water management elevated tank about 80m away. The current center is about 30m SE of the column. There is meadow around the center - easily accessible.
   Surveying column with a square floor plan, height 1.1 m, Laußnitzer granite , high stepped base in the lower part unprocessed, no cover plate available, inscription: "Station / GROSS- / DOBRITZ / der / Kön: Sächs: / Triangulirung / 1866".
