On September 3rd, 1343, the village of Bernaw - without having been a market - was raised to the status of a town by Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian and at the same time received the right to the "Mile Way". It is documented that Bärnau was the seat of a judge as early as 1311. Later a nursing office was established. The "Golden Road" from Nuremberg to Prague also led through the city, which was surrounded by walls on a hill and laid out in a slightly oval area, in the center of which the parish church of St. Nicholas rises.

The church, the Gasthaus zur Post, the town hall, some steles and information boards to find out about the city and the surrounding area are located on the market square. Overall a very nice place and recommended.

The column stands between two mighty chestnut trees on the market square and was erected in 1722 by the caretaker Baron von Froschheim.
