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 and Romana Streets 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.
