    In 1725, Johanngeorgenstadt was one of the first cities in Saxony to receive a whole and a half mile column as well as a quarter milestone. A coat of arms adorned distance column was erected on August 11, 1728 on the market square. Setting the column was originally supposed to cost 45 thalers, but it ended up being more than 62 thalers. The column was made by stonemason Matthias Lambacher. It consists of granite mined near Brettmühl. The Freiberg stonemason made the coat of arms of the column from Niederschönaer sandstone.
