Copy of a distance column. The original was made by the Freiberg stonemason Daniel Steinaus from Niederschönaer sandstone. The column stood from 1727 to approx. 1863 (last proof) on the Untermarkt, directly on the historic Poststrasse Dresden - Wilsdruff - Nossen - Hainichen - Chemnitz or Waldheim - Leipzig.
