A Saxon post mile column, colloquially also known as a Saxon post mile column or just post column, is a milestone that indicates distances and walking times with an accuracy of up to an eighth of an hour.

Copy of a half-mile column on Reichssteinweg (Borna) in front of the Reich Gate. The column was part of the Borna-Colditz post road and originally stood in the so-called “Royal Fürsten-Holtze”. The original location was dredged over.

The half-mile column in front of the Reichstor is very well preserved.
