At the lower end of the market square there is a “Kursächsische Postdistanzsäule” from 1732 with travel times to various Saxon and other cities, which even back then gave exact distances of up to an eighth of an hour.

A restored post mile column from 1732. The post mile columns go back to the surveying of Saxony by Zürner at the beginning of the 18th century. The information is journey hours (1 journey hour = 4.5 km)
