By next summer, a modern indoor riding arena with grandstands should be ready for use by the Moritzburg State Stud. This includes jumping, riding and warm-up halls for training and further education as well as a new feed storage facility, as announced by the Ministry of Finance at the topping-out ceremony for the hall on Thursday.
The Free State is investing 24 million euros in the project. This sends a clear signal for the future of the historic state stud, said Finance Minister Hartmut Vorjohann (CDU). The hall, built to international standards, will offer the best conditions for horses and people with 800 grandstand seats.
According to the ministry, the hall will be built in a sustainable and environmentally friendly wood hybrid construction. A photovoltaic system on the roof will supply the stud farm with environmentally friendly solar energy in future. The hall will also be equipped with a so-called ebb and flow system, which can be used to remove or add moisture to the sand - for optimal riding surfaces.
