    "A post mile marker from the Electorate of Saxony, colloquially also called a Saxon post mile marker or simply a post mile marker, is a milestone that indicates distances and walking times to within one-eighth of an hour. The design of the markers varies depending on the distance they represent." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurs%C3%A4chsische_Postmeilens%C3%A4ule
    Freiberg is one of two cities with three surviving post mile markers of this type. The distance markers stood at the respective city gates. The postal routes were listed on the side facing the city. The name of the station, "Freiberg," was on the side facing the city.

    🏛️📜💎The Saxon distance column at the former Peterstor gate in Freiberg is an important testament to Saxon transport history and part of a unique ensemble. While many cities have lost their post mile markers over the centuries, Freiberg is the only city in Saxony that still has three original locations of these magnificent columns (Erbisches Tor, Meißner Tor and Peterstor).
