"A post mile post of the Electorate of Saxony, colloquially also called a Saxon post mile post or just a post mile post, is a milestone that indicates distances and walking times to within an eighth of an hour. The design of the stones varies depending on the distance" - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurs%C3%A4chsische_Postmeilens%C3%A4ule#Distanzs%C3%A4ule In this case it is a distance post.
"The posts originally erected in front of the city gate usually had the distance information on two sides and the city name of the destination on the other two."
