One of the three Kursächsische Postmilensäulen of Freiberg at the former Peterstor. Freiberg had five city gates, and in front of each one was a post-milestone pillar, and there are still three.

The post mile column at the former Peterstor, now Petersstraße / Bebelplatzensäule, dates from 1723. There are three post mile columns in Freiberg. That's rather rare. In 1721 the erection of the pillars in Saxony was ordered, and initially there should be a pillar at each city gate. Soon the cities protested, they had no money and so the decree was changed, a pillar in the market square was enough. There are gate and market pillars. Freiberg set up the pillars very quickly and was probably able to afford the gate pillars.
