To the Gauss Tower on a volcano in southern Lower SaxonyVarious basalt hilltops on the Dransfeld plateau bear witness to Tertiary volcanic activity. The Hohe Hagen, which was over 500 meters high before it was morphologically altered by a quarry, now stands just below that. We can now explore the abandoned area on an educational geological trail, but unfortunately the Gauss Tower has been abandoned for several years. The mathematician and geodesist Carl Friedrich Gauss used the mountain as a first-order triangulation point during the Hanoverian state survey between 1818 and 1826. By measuring the angles between the Brocken in the Harz Mountains, the Großer Inselsberg in the Thuringian Forest and the Hoher Hagen, he created one of those large triangles into which successively smaller-scale connecting surveys could be fitted: the classic structure of a basic network.
