A signpost, also called a wayside pillar or wayside column, is a historical form of signpost. These pillars were made of stone and showed travelers the way for decades. Signpost pillars are classified as minor monuments and are often already listed as protected monuments. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wegweisers%C3%A4ule
