“Trakehner” today

It is the declared aim of the Association of friends and patrons of the former Trakehnen main stud farm to preserve two significant historic buildings. By means of contributions and membership fees alone the Association tries to save Trakehnen from falling into ruins. In accordance with the local population and the Russian authorities the cultural heritage is to be preserved. Thanks to the active support and help of many friends of Trakehnen the foundation walls could be dried and eaves and downspouts were replaced. The back of the Equerry’s house was renovated and freshly painted. Two museum rooms have been installed in the eastern wing and also the Trakehnen gate shines anew. Since the end of the 1940s a Russian school has been using the Equerry’s house.
