Numerous inscriptions in various layers are applied to the obelisk, some chiseled in, some only painted on, with mileage to Mainz, Trier, Kirchberg, Boppard, Simmern and others.
The Prussian milestones were set up by Prussia for distance display in the 19th century.
The stones were created according to sample designs from Berlin: an obelisk with a flattened tip and two side benches made of basalt lava. On the street side, the distances between Mainz, Koblenz and Cologne are in Prussian miles (1 mile = 7.532 km).
