The Zeithainer Lustlager was a magnificent troop display by Augustus the Strong in 1730 and took place on the fields between Glaubitz and Zeithain. The obelisk was erected shortly after the festival in remembrance. The so-called Lustlager founded the Zeithain military site.

The obelisk of the pleasure camp in Zeithain is the last (of three) surviving witness to a military camp that was extremely unusual for the time. Excerpt from Wikipedia: The "Zeithain Pleasure Camp" was an organizational and logistical masterpiece that caused a sensation throughout Europe. It was not only the largest military parade in Europe, but above all it was considered the most gigantic Baroque festival of its time, the "spectacle of the century," which, due to its splendor and opulence, remains the epitome of Baroque lifestyle to this day. Ottoman state tents were also used, two of which can be viewed today in the Turkish Chamber of the Dresden Royal Palace. Baroque sandstone obelisks also marked the camp from afar, of which four obelisks (three between Glaubitz, Streumen and Marksiedlitz and one obelisk in the Zeithain district, about 2 km north of the old town center) are still preserved and have since been renovated.

Those who love nature and seek relaxation can find peace here in any weather. (10°C feels like 5° wind from the north.)
