history
This all-mile column is a copy of the post column from 1723 with the row number 40, which stood not far from this point. The column belonged to the Poststrasse from Leipzig via Chemnitz , Annaberg to Karlsbad . The original column was made of Hilbersdorfer porphyry tuff . The inscription block was discovered in 1886 when a barn was demolished and the torso was rebuilt in 1958. A truck knocked the pillar down in 1970. In 1982 the column was restored and supplemented and during the last restoration the original was replaced by a copy made of Elbe sandstone and this was placed at the current location.
