Christian of Thuringia

Christian (died c. 950) was count in the Saxon Nordthüringgau and Schwabengau from 937.

Like Margrave Gero the Great (c. 900 – 965), he was probably a relative of the Billung dynasty.

Christian was married to Gero's sister Hidda, a pious woman who died about 970 in Jerusalem during a pilgrimage.

According to the Annalista Saxo he received estates in Serimunt from the hands of King Otto I for his services.

His first son Thietmar succeeded his father in Schwabengau und Serimunt; upon the death of his uncle Gero he received large parts of the Marca Geronis and became Margrave of Meissen in 976.
