history
The quarter milestone bears the year 1725 and the row number 45. It belongs to the Poststrasse Leipzig - Zwickau - Johanngeorgenstadt - Karlsbad . Remnants of the granite middle slab with the year were seized in 1971 when a building on Marienstraße was demolished. The stone was still in its original location after 1800, but later disappeared. The copy was made at the beginning of the 1990s.
The original remnant is in the courtyard of the Museum of Mining Folk Art.
