As early as the 14th century, merchants traveling between Breslau and Leipzig stayed at the inn in Schweinerden. In 1694 the regular postal service between Leipzig and Breslau began. That is why a post office was set up in the Gasthof Schweinerden in 1713, which existed until 1807. The inn tenant was also the postman. He always had to keep fresh horses ready and to provide food and accommodation for the travelers.

The source of the information is the miniature park in Wehlen, where the post office is a model.

The former post office is the first house on the left side of the road when you come from the starting point of the hike, bus stop Schweinerden S100 and immediately turn right into the village.
