    One of many beautiful old Saxon postal columns. They show the distances and walking times to the specified location. They were erected during the reign of August the Strong and his successor.

    "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." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/course%C3%A4chsische_Postmeilens%C3%A4ule#halbmiles%C3%A4ule
    This example is a half-mile column that stood on the Alte Dresden-Teplitzer Poststrasse, which is still signposted in the region today.
