    Since 1788, the Prussians have erected their own milestones.
    They were placed at quarter-mile intervals, but one Prussian mile corresponded to 7.532 kilometers.
    Thus, milestones were located every 1.883 kilometers along the roads, divided into three categories (full milestone, half milestone, quarter milestone).
    Another can be found at the entrance to Friesenrath.

    A stone. Looks important. If anyone knows, please comment what kind of stone it is.
