Rennersdorf milestone
The Rennersdorfer milestone (full name: "Kursächsische Ganzmeilensäule No. 92") is a remnant piece of a Kursächsische Postmeilensäule from the time around 1725 from the postal route Dresden - Bautzen - Löbau - Zittau with the number 92. This was originally near Euldorf in the " Owl wood ". After the chause was built in 1824, the pillar was located at the crossroads of Herrnhut - Bernstadt - Großhennersdorf, now with a head piece, as a path pillar with a new inscription for re-installation.
After the Second World War, a local teacher secured the historical pillar, which had broken under unexplained circumstances, and brought a remnant piece with the monogram "AR" to his property in Rennersdorf / OL. It is thanks to him that this remnant piece has been preserved, which is still to this day the popularly known name for the parcel “Am Meilenstein” symbolizes.
