"A post mile marker of 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." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurs%C3%A4chsische_Postmeilens%C3%A4ule#Ganzmeilens%C3%A4ule
This marker is a full-mile marker and belonged to the postal route Dresden – Schwarzenberg – Halbe Meile – Johanngeorgenstadt. It is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise from its original location.

The listed all-mile column in Schwarzenberg belongs to the Saxon post-mile columns that were erected in the Electorate of Saxony by the Land and Border Commissioner Adam Friedrich Zürner on behalf of Elector Friedrich August I of Saxony in the first half of the 18th century. It is located on a small square in Crandorf, which is part of the Erla district, at the confluence of the Postsäulenweg and Crandorfer Straße in the town of Schwarzenberg/Erzgeb in the western Ore Mountains. in the Erzgebirge district. The full mile column with row number 52 is in its original location.
