"A Saxon Post Miles Column, colloquially known as a Saxon Post Miles Column or just a post column, is a milestone that indicates distances and walking times down to an eighth of an hour. The design of the stones varies depending on the distance." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/course%C3%A4chsische_Postmeilens%C3%A4ule#quartermilestone
In this case it is a quarter milestone on the Alte Dresden-Teplitzer Poststraße.

Here you can see the smallest of the 4 post mile columns, the quarter milestone. There are four different types of Saxon post miles columns. The most still existing, coat of arms-decorated distance columns with the location and distance information as well as the three different miles columns on the post roads (differ in size/height). These are the whole mile columns, the half mile columns and the quarter mile stones (smallest).

Such columns are not only history but also always an eye-catcher.
