List of milestones in the district of Hof

The list of milestones in the district of Hof is an overview of the historical milestone pillars in the Upper Franconian district of Hof in Bavaria .

The historical milestones that have been preserved in the town and district of Hof are predominantly stone pillars. They emerged as landmarks at the roadside with the introduction of the metric length measure in Germany in 1868/72. The meter replaced the mile . With the stone pillars, the waypoints were also standardized. The pillars are usually round, about two meters high, and made of granite . They taper slightly upwards and close in a conical shape. The stones are now minor monuments and are sometimes also used as architectural monuments. The stones no longer serve as a guide in road traffic and were removed or relocated around 1980 for safety reasons, among other things.
