    The Kursächsische Postsäulen are historic stone pillars built in the 1700s throughout Saxony to measure distances and mark postal routes. They were built by Saxony's ruler August the Strong in the style of the ancient Romans.

    This 1729 Halbmeilensäule (half-mile marker) is made of sandstone and stands two meters tall. It is adorned with different inscriptions. On one side: "Dreßden 9 St / Toeplitz 3 1/2 St.," and the year "1729," along with a post horn. Recognized as Milestone No. 18 on the "Alte-Dresden-Teplitzer-Straße," it narrows gracefully towards the base. Restoration work took place in 1902 and 1967.
