"A Saxon Post Miles Column, colloquially known as a Saxon Post Miles Column or just a post column, is a milestone that indicates distances and walking times down to an eighth of an hour. The design of the stones varies depending on the distance for which they stand." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/course%C3%A4chsische_Postmeilens%C3%A4ule
The city has a replica of the distance column from 1727 in the Bahnhofstraße, which has been restored several times, with the original location on the market square and the original coat of arms (inaccessible) in the museum in Frohburg Castle. The material is Cotta Elbe sandstone, as the last conservation restoration in 2012 revealed.
