    These milestones stand on old trade routes between important cities. I am always happy when I see one.

    The milestones are reminiscent of the road construction in the 19th century. The unpaved roads, which were hard to drive for horse-drawn carriages, were expanded and the costs for this were brought back by the Danish king (Schleswig-Holstein was part of Denmark) via a toll: at the milestones, turnpikes with takers' houses were erected and riders had to pay one schilling (eight pfennigs) paid. In 1883, the barriers were removed again, the milestones were preserved as documents of the Schleswig-Holstein traffic history and are under monument protection.

    The milestones at Hamburg-Elmenhorster Chaussee are truncated cones. The full milestones each have a highlighted Christian VIII royal monogram on the front and the year 1843 underneath.
