The Theure Christian is a roadside monument. It is considered the oldest road monument in Saxony-Anhalt. It is located on the old connecting road between Radegast, a district of the city of Südliches Anhalt and Zörbig in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld, on the former state border between the Duchy of Saxony-Merseburg and later the Electorate of Saxony and the Principality of Anhalt- Dessau, later the Duchy of Anhalt. Until June 30, 2007, this was also the border of the districts of Bitterfeld and Köthen, which were merged in Saxony-Anhalt as a result of the second district reform.

The Theure Christian is a roadside monument and is considered the oldest roadside monument in Saxony-Anhalt. It was built in 1688 to commemorate the fortification of the dam by the footfall. It has a 5 m high substructure with a square base, the sides are each about 2 m long. Very nice place for a short break and inform.
