The exact location of the center point, and thus the exit point of the Earth's axis, changed over time: A standing in the market water box, a lid and a brass ball in the hall on the floor of the local inns. Today, the Earth's axis in the basement of the town hall can be visited for a fee and can be lubricated there too.
