State Stud Redefin Seeks New Operator Amidst 30th Anniversary Celebrations

As the Support Circle Association celebrates the 30th anniversary of the State Stud Redefin, a cloud of uncertainty looms over the historic institution. The state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is currently considering finding a private operator for the stud, which has been a significant part of Redefin for several hundred years.

An expression of interest procedure is underway until October 15, allowing potential operators to submit their concepts. This news has not gone unnoticed, with many visitors at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival concert and picnic aware of the search.

The purpose of this search is to find an engaged operator who will lead the cultural-historical ensemble into a sustainable future. The goal is to preserve Redefin's character as a centre of horse breeding, sports, training, and culture, and to develop the tourism area.

A password-protected data room has been set up, providing interested parties with a detailed description of the tender object and internal operational data, under the condition of confidentiality. However, the Support Circle of the State Stud views the plans critically, and a password-protected data room has been set up to provide interested parties with a detailed description of the tender object and internal operational data, under the condition of confidentiality.

The Mayor of Redefin, Roswitha Böbel, shares the view that the stud needs a practical future concept and believes that it can be achieved in state operation. Despite this, there are concerns that a private operator might close the stud to the public, as expressed by a concert-goer from Hamburg.

The future development of the state stud is also possible in the state operation, as implied but not explicitly stated in the text. The association is not sure if they could or would support a private operator without first discussing and deciding on it. They would need information about the planned structure and the actual situation before making a decision.

Opponents of the privatization plan want to continue collecting signatures and advocating for the retention of the state stud. Despite the ongoing process, it remains to be seen how the future of the State Stud Redefin will unfold.
