This half-mile column is a replica of the post-mile column from 1724 that originally stood not far from this point, with row number 46 on the former post road from Chemnitz to Schwarzenberg. The column was erected at the end of the 1990s on behalf of the city of Zwönitz, together with two other copies, a quarter mile stone and a full mile column, and in contrast to the original, which was made of Greifenstein granite, it was made of Elbe sandstone with a base of Lausitz granite.

The Electoral Saxon Half Mile Column Zwönitz on Grünhainer Straße is one of those post mile columns that were erected in Saxony at the beginning of the 18th century; it originally stood on the old post road between Chemnitz - Schwarzenberg (Erzgeb.) and was relocated in the 1990s to accommodate the new course of the road;
