Baruth had belonged to Ernestine Electoral Saxony since 1485 and only became Prussian in 1815 with the Congress of Vienna. So, since 1730, we have also found a Saxon postal miles column here.

He collected donations of around 20,000 euros and added 7,000 euros from his own pocket and unfortunately died 7 months before the inauguration (August 2014).
