The base Bonn is a 2.1 km long geodetic base line, which the Berlin general staff officer Johann Jakob Baeyer used as the basis for the Rheinische triangular measurement. Their course is marked by three measurement points. At one of these points, in Bonn-Auerberg on Kölnstraße on the Josefshöhe, there is a cast iron table with a memorial inscription in front of the neo-Gothic chapel: Based Bonn 1847 along Kölnstraße between Bonn and Hersel was under the direction of General Johann Jakob Baeyer in 1847 (1794–1885) A 2134 m long route with iron measuring rods measured precisely to millimeters. It served as the output length (base) for the Rhenish triangle network, which ranged from Aachen to Zurich and was used to determine the earth's figure and for property measurements. For the alignement (influencing) of the measuring rods and for the replacement, three 1.1 m high mail was used, the former locations of which were referred to in 1980 by cast iron records with the inscription 'Basic Bonn 1847'.
