Electoral Saxon Post Milestone Frohburg

A Saxon post mile pillar, colloquially also known as a Saxon post mile pillar, is a milestone that specifies distances and walking times to within an eighth of an hourSource: Wikipedia

The stone witness of Saxon postal and transport history from 1727 was extensively restored in 2012. Original location of the column was until 1918 at the market square. To protect against traffic-related damage, she was then transferred to the corner of Bahnhofstrasse.Striking: four instead of two inscription pages, the kursächs. u. Polish-lit. Coat of arms, the gilded royal crown, the initials AR = Augustus Rex (King August). The original coat of arms is inaccessible in the Museum Schloss Frohburg. The material is Cottaer Elbe Sandstone, as the last conservative restoration in 2012 revealed. In any case, nice to look at. Especially when you see the times, how long it took from place to place. 😊

The post mileage column is located not far from the market square in Frohburg and served as a distance meter for the cities.
