The original column dates from 1728, was renewed in 1884 by the Ore Mountain Association and set up at its current location opposite the market. It used to stand next to the “Roß” inn, which was also a horse-changing point. The old postal stable is a testament to that time.

"A Saxon post mile column, colloquially also called Saxon post mile column or just post column, is a milestone that indicates distances and walking times to within an eighth of an hour.
The design of the stones varies according to the distance they represent, they can be in the form of an obelisk, an ancient herm or a stele."
