Höhensystem
A Höhensystem, or height system, is a reference framework used in surveying and engineering to define and measure elevations. It establishes a vertical datum, which is a zero point from which all other heights are measured. This datum can be based on various physical phenomena, such as mean sea level or a specific geodetic benchmark. The choice of datum is crucial for ensuring consistency and accuracy in height measurements across a project or region.
Different types of height systems exist, each with its own characteristics and applications. Orthometric heights, for
The establishment and maintenance of a Höhensystem involve precise geodetic measurements and leveling techniques. These systems
