Falkenberger Chaussee Pablo-Picasso-Straße 2 ( location ) |
Post milestone | 1816 (dating according to research group milestones and typological classification more after 1835). The 85 centimeter high round base made of sandstone bears the inscription "1 MEILE BIS BERLIN" (in Antiqua script). It is one of only 18 milestones still preserved in Berlin today. The stone originally stood at Falkenberger Straße 83, which at the time was still part of the Falkenberger Chaussee from Weißensee to Falkenberg. In 1991 it was placed in its current location after restoration.
A Prussian mile is the equivalent of about 7.5 kilometers. After the introduction of the metric system in 1873, the milestones became less important and were largely removed or implemented. |
