    The post post column from 1730 bears the Saxon and Polish coat of arms, as well as the initials AR = August Rex. The post mileage pillars in Saxony were one of the first modern traffic management systems in Europe.

    The post mile pillar in Belgern is one of the post mile pillars that were erected in the first half of the 18th century in the Electorate of Saxony on behalf of Elector Friedrich August I of Saxony by Land and Border Commissioner Adam Friedrich Zürner. The distance column adorned with coat of arms is on the market at the confluence of Elbstrasse in the Saxon town of Belgern in the district of Northern Saxony.
