A Saxon electoral post column, colloquially also called a Saxon post column or simply post column, is a milestone that indicates distances and walking times to within an eighth of an hour. These post columns were erected during the reign of Augustus the Strong and his successor on all important postal and trade routes and in almost all cities of Electoral Saxony to indicate official distances. Since Electoral Saxony was then significantly larger than the present-day state of Saxony, such columns can also be found in Thuringia, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, and Poland.
