Thietmar records that Count Christian was buried at Magdeburg. Part of the same passage refers to 961 but it is not possible from the context to conclude that Christian certainly died in that year. Married HIDDA, daughter of Graf THIETMAR 1 (dead Jerusalem (945/975). Soror eorum (Gero marchiorum et Sigefridus) Hidda nominee is named in the Annalista Saxo, which records her death in Jerusalem and that she was the mother of Thietmarum marchionem et Geronem Coloniensem archiepiscopum. Thietmar also records the death in Jerusalem of Gero's holy mother Hidda, undated but in a passage which records the subsequent invasion of Jerusalem by the Saracens implying that this occurred immediately after her burial. She founded Kloster Nienburg with her sons Thietmar and Gero after her husband died.
