Historic significance:
It appears to be fairly new, and in very good condition. There is no indication who placed it, or when. I would assume, since it is placed at a major tourist destination, that the City of Berlin, or the tourism bureau, placed it.
Location nearest to where you live now:
Siegessäule is the closest to my home, and is 1750m west of this site.
The sign pointing to Siegessäule is over 5,200 miles (about 8,400 kilometers) from where I live now.
