Historical classification of the location

There are three milestones in Lutherstadt Eisleben today . One comes from the Wimmelburger Hölzchen and stands in the Kronenfriedhof , the other two stand in the hallway of the former village of Helfta , which was incorporated into Eisleben. For better differentiation, the eastern one is named after Helfta, the western one after Eisleben. Both are on Halleschen Strasse, which has since been downgraded from Bundesstrasse 80 to Landesstrasse 151 . When it was built from Langenbogen to Nordhausen between 1824 and 1826 , it was part of a major project that created a continuous Prussian state boarding house between Berlin and Kassel in the 1820s .

Near the former corridor border between Helfta and Eisleben there is a full mile obelisk, which indicates the distance to Berlin as 26 miles. One Prussian mile is 7.532 kilometers, so the stone is about 195 kilometers from Dönhoffplatz in Berlin, where the zero point is marked with an obelisk. In addition, there are the inscriptions Eisleben 1/2 mile and Halle 3 3/4 miles , i.e. distance information to the two nearest cities. It consists of Siebigeröder sandstone, the classicist font has been identified as Roman capital font .

However, today it is only a quarter of a mile from Eisleben and 4 miles (a little more than 30 kilometers) from Halle. This shift of the milestones by a quarter mile affects the entire street to Halle (Saale) and is probably related to a new zero point, which was no longer Berlin, but now Halle, because the whole milestone that used to be in Berliner Straße (at Roßplatz) was previously ( 22 miles from Berlin ) the reference point, whereas Halle's market is exactly four miles from Eisleben.

Monument protection and renovation

The all-mile obelisk is a listed building and is registered with the registration number 094 16114 in the monument register. The cast eagle plate was renewed as early as 1985. The inscriptions were reworked in 2001.

At the foot of the milestone there is an information board from the Milestones research group , which lists the most important data and explains the milestone system. In addition, several special features have been preserved, including a historical height measuring point for 120 m above sea level. NN and the inscription from the time after the change to kilometers, which is still pale as 30 . The distance indicator stood next to the road for 180 years, but was moved back into the slope a little after renovation in 2005.

In the immediate vicinity, northeast of the milestone, is the former Prussian Chausseehaus , which has only been preserved in a very different way. Therefore it is not a listed building.
