No private operator for state stud farm - Redefin State Stud's Future: State Opts for Public Control, Partnerships

The future of Redfin State Stud has been a topic of debate. The state has decided against full privatization, with the implementation of a revised concept set for 2026. The focus now shifts to partnerships for financial stability while maintaining public functions.

The stud, which has long operated at a deficit, requiring annual subsidies of €1.7 million, will not be fully managed by a private entity. The state recognizes the wide range of public responsibilities that cannot be handled by a single private operator. Instead, a new strategic direction is expected by the end of this year, with the development of a strategy draft named 'Masterplan Redfin'.

The far-right AfD welcomed the decision not to privatize the stud. However, the opposition CDU reacted with skepticism, calling for a clear roadmap for the stud's future. The focus is now on establishing meaningful partnerships to ensure financial stability while preserving public functions.

The state's decision to maintain public control over Redfin State Stud has been met with varied reactions. While the AfD welcomes the move, the CDU calls for more clarity. The stud's future will be guided by the 'Masterplan Redfin', set to be completed by the end of the year, with a revised concept implementation slated for 2026.
