The Deutsche Schwerenetz 1962 (DSN62) is a national network of fixed points on which the strength of the earth's gravitational field has been determined with high accuracy. Edit HistoryQual

It consisted of the Deutsche Schweregrundnetz (DSGN 1952-1957) and other densification networks. With the technical advancement of gravimetric measurement technology, the DSN62 was replaced by the German Gravity Network in 1976 as a new heavy-lift system based on the International Gravity Standardization Net (IGSN71).

The figures plotted in the detailed view of the label indicate the distance to the gravimeter's current location in meters. It is to be assumed that the data, Eg 0,5 and 6,0, as in the case of a hydrant shield, and have been individually hit for each measuring point. Edit source text Weblinks Edit sourcetext
