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.
