12-544: A trig point is shown near its highest point with a height of 635.3 m above NN . Normalnull Normalnull ("standard zero") or Normal-Null (short N. N. or NN ) is an outdated official vertical datum used in Germany. Elevations using this reference system were to be marked Meter über Normal-Null (“meters above standard zero”). Normalnull has been replaced by Normalhöhennull (NHN). In 1878 reference heights were taken from

Both peaks are accessible inter alia from this road on forest tracks. The old Inner German Border used to run along the valleys of the Großer Kunzenbach and Kleiner Kunzenbach to
24-742: The Amsterdam Ordnance Datum and transferred to the New Berlin Observatory in order to define the Normalhöhenpunkt 1879 . Normalnull has been defined as a level going through an imaginary point 37.000 m below Normalhöhenpunkt 1879 . When the New Berlin Observatory was demolished in 1912 the reference point was moved east to the village of Hoppegarten (now part of the town of Müncheberg , Brandenburg , Germany ).
