The pillar marks station 143 Wilhelmshöhe of the Royal Saxon Triangulation. "The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with its historical proper name) is a land survey carried out between 1862 and 1890 in the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony, simultaneously creating a trigonometric network. The goal was to scientifically and geodetically accurately record the state territory and to create the basis for the production of accurate map series by establishing permanently marked control points. The Großenhainer Grundlinie was determined as the scale-defining base." - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S%C3%A4chsische_Triangulirung From the station, the neighboring stations Carlshöhe, Marienhöhe, Schönheide, Wenzelstein, Kemmlerberg, and Kuhberg were sighted. Unfortunately, not much can be seen of it anymore, even from the tower.
