== Name == thumb|Historical trigonometric point The Alarmstange owes its name to the fact that in 1809 French soldiers built an optical signal station there. In 1853, a post was erected that acted as a trigonometric point for the surveying of the Rhineland which was begun by Jean-Joseph Tranchot and continued by Friedrich Carl Ferdinand von Müffling. From 1894 it was used for the Prussian state survey. The post was moved in 1969 by around five metres and, in its place, a granite post was erected.
