The distance column from 1730 stands on the edge of the market square, some original parts are in the castle and the top of the column was bricked up in a building in Kirchgasse. The column was restored in 2002 and looks very good. Right next to the pillar is an information board about the pillar itself and the big things around it.

Opposite the town hall stands a historic postal distance column, which was once erected in 1730 at the Rossmarkt in front of the no longer existing Upper Gate. It was lost for many years and was relocated here after its rediscovery. The information panel tells a bit about the history and significance of the distance column.
It's interesting to note that distances were still measured in hours and days back then. In some ways, people had it good back then; they lived in a more relaxed age than today.

A copy of a sandstone distance column, dated 1730, located on the edge of the market square (originally Roßmarkt). The column bears various distance inscriptions, the year, and a coat of arms. Some of the original parts are located in the castle. The original part of the column's inscription block was walled up in the house at Turnerstraße 4 and rediscovered in 1983. After 1835, the base and the lower part of the inscription block were repurposed by the local blacksmith. The pieces were rediscovered in 1955, and the column was reconstructed from Greifenstein granite in 1958 and re-erected in 1961.
