    In 1721, Elector Friedrich August I instructed the princely chamber to erect stone postal columns in Saxony based on the Roman model (“instead of the wooden ones that had previously stood in some places, erect stone columns throughout, but especially on those country and postal roads, and on the same to have the paths and distances of the places indicated, meant"). Previously, Zürner had traveled through Saxony and measured it. The distances are given in hours on the post mile columns. A travel hour is 4.5 km = 1/2 post mile.

    it was erected early, in 1725, and then towns still had to erect pillars at each gate until they won the dispute with the elector, and one pillar on the market was enough, it was cheaper. The distance column from the former Königsbrücker Tor found a new location after several renovations at Bönischplatz and was restored for the last time in 2008. It was destroyed in a traffic accident at the roundabout there in 2009 and re-erected a year later.

        Post miles columns are things that document the history of the then fast connections between the places.
