history
The all-mile column with the row number 52 is at its original location on Poststrasse Dresden - Chemnitz - Stollberg - Zwönitz -Schwarzenberg- Johanngeorgenstadt - Karlsbad . It was made in 1725 for 18 thalers from the reddish granite of the Wiesenbad quarry. During a restoration, probably in the middle of the 20th century, weathered parts of the column were severely removed. Since the new inscription, the distance to Schwarzenberg is missing, and the original spelling Grünhayn has been replaced by the modern Grünhain . The column was placed on an earth plinth with a stone border and turned 90 degrees counterclockwise compared to its original position.
