What is the name of the German equivalent for billboard?

I am trying to find the correct spelling of the round advertising boards found on the sidewalks in German towns. The board is a place where local news, events, shows, bands, etc are posted. The round pole varies in size and can be a foot to several feet in diameter and I would guess 8 to 10 feet tall. It was named after the inventer who was a printer I believe. Phonetically I believe it is Lit-fa-zoil. Any help is appreciated.

It's a "Litfaßsäule" (or Litfasssäule, Litfass column), named after its inventor, the printer Ernst Litfaß.

The English term is the "Morris column", taken from the French "Colonne Morris" for some reason.

They are Litfaßsäule. They were invented by the chief of the Berlin police Karl Ludwig Friedrich Von Hinkeldy to stop fly-posting. He awarded a contract to Litfass who patented the idea in1857 after Hinkeldy was killed in 1856.


Quester
Die Litfaßsäule would translate as advertising column.

A billboard for advertising is called "die Plakatwerbung". The article "die" is important to remember too.
