The church spire was Station 120 Ziegelheim 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, with the simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network. The aim was to scientifically and geodetically accurately record the state territory and to create the basis for the production of accurate map works by establishing permanently marked fixed points. The Großenhainer Grundlinie was determined as the scale-defining base." - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S%C3%A4chsische_Triangulirung The stations in and around the Altenburger Land were then practically on the western border of the country.

The Elisabeth Spring is located in the Leinawald towards Penig near the Nobitz Aviation Museum. During GDR times, it was somewhat neglected due to the settlement of the Soviets. In 2021, it was brought back to life by an interest group and foresters. It can be visited 24 hours a day. The water from the spring is drinkable, but despite repeated analysis, it is not yet classified as drinking water.

The Elisabeth Spring is located in the forest near the Nobitz Aviation Museum. It is very well signposted. It's a lovely resting place, maintained by a community interest group and foresters. Despite testing, the spring's water is not currently labeled as drinking water. During the GDR era, it was somewhat neglected due to Soviet settlement. It was rededicated in 2021.
