Normalnull, Height reference system in Berlin, Germany
Normalnull functions as a vertical datum defining zero elevation points for measuring heights and depths across German territories.
The system originated in 1878 using Amsterdam Ordnance Datum measurements transferred to the New Berlin Observatory and established as Normalhöhenpunkt in 1879.
German engineers and surveyors integrated this measurement standard into their professional practices, influencing infrastructure development throughout the country.
Modern construction projects in Germany reference Normalhöhennull, the successor system, to determine precise ground levels and elevation measurements.
The reference point intersects an imaginary location 37 meters below the original Normalhöhenpunkt, creating a standardized measurement baseline.
