In 1913 the stone was found lying on the ground near its original location and overgrown with grass. The Schwarzenberg branch of the Ore Mountains brought the stone to Schwarzenberg, where it was initially kept in the quarry, today's natural stage at the Rockelmann. The stone was later re-erected and the missing headpiece added.

"A post mile marker of the Electorate of Saxony, colloquially also called a Saxon post mile marker or simply a post 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#Vierteleilenstein

In this case, it is quarter mile marker no. 53 on the former postal road Dresden–Chemnitz–Stollberg–Zwönitz-Schwarzenberg–Johanngeorgenstadt
