'''Christian Thiesen''' was a Pensacolian businessman best remembered for his ownership of the [[Thiesen Building]].

Thiesen settled in Pensacola in [[1882]]. He built the Thiesen Building on the northeast corner of [[Palafox Street|Palafox]] and [[Romana Street]]s in [[1901]]. He was reportedly warned that his venture would fail and the building would be lost to receivership; when this failed to happen, Thiesen gloated by flying the Danish flag from the building every year until his death in [[1934]].
