The replica of the sandstone distance pillar erected in 1981 stands on the southeast corner of the market square in front of the Kronenapotheke. The writing block contains inscriptions with distances in hours (1 hour = 4.531 km). The post horn and the year 1723 are carved on all four sides. A halved and heavily weathered remnant piece of the original column is now kept in the local history museum.
