Saxon all-mile column Bad Langensalza
The listed Saxon all-mile column Bad Langensalza is one of the post-mile columns that were built in the first half of the 18th century in the Electorate of Saxony on behalf of Elector Friedrich August I of Saxony by Land and Border Commissioner Adam Friedrich Zürner . It was last on the northeast side of the federal highway 247 near the local exit towards Mühlhausen / Thuringia near the Thuringian town of Bad Langensalza . It is the remainder of a full-mile travertine column without a point.
history
The column from the postal route Leipzig - Kassel bears the year 1729 and the row number 64. It is 16 miles away from Leipzig. The original was transferred to the Bad Langensalza Museum and a travertine replica was unveiled on May 2, 2009 on a raised base in Marktstrasse Bad Langensalza. The tip with the initials of the elector and the distance to Langensalza and Mühlhausen , which was missing in the original, was reconstructed according to the technical specifications of the research group Kursächsische Postmeilensäulen eV.
