During the reign of Augustus the Strong and his successor, the Electoral Postmile columns were erected on all important post and trade routes and in almost all cities of the Electorate of Saxony to indicate the official distances. This should provide the basis for a consistent calculation of postal charges. Since the Electorate of Saxony at that time was much larger than the present state of Saxony, such columns can also be found in Thuringia, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt and in Poland (Wikipedia).
