"Postmaster Column Tharandt"
This is the first replica of the Real Pillar on the Tharandter Market.
"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 with an accuracy of up to an eighth of an hour. The design of the stones varies depending on the distance for which they stand, they can have the shape of an obelisk , an antique herm or a stele." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/course%C3%A4chsische_Postmeilens%C3%A4uleThe research group Kursächsische Postmilessäulen e.V. is based in Grillenburg, which is why you can find 3 copies of columns from different times here.
