Brandenburg basic information

Following reunification with the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany), stallions from Hanoverian bloodlines and lines which came via Redefin gained a big influence on the Brandenburg breed. These included inter alia the:

Detektiv line (via Duell by Duellant, Dollarprinz by Dollart, Dispondeus by Direx), Goldschaum xx line (via Gottland by Goldstein), Adept line (via Abendwind by Adept, Akzento by Arzano).

The stallion Komet who came from Mecklenburg and who miraculously escaped the enforced castration that was the rule for unapproved stallions in East Germany at that time, later became a great sire and produced a series of successful showjumping sires such as Kolibri by Kobold and Kogani I by Kobold I.

A comprehensive blood rejuvenation has taken place since 1990, through the newly founded breeder's association. Since then, mainly Holsteiners from the Ladykiller xx line and the Cor-de-la-Bryère-SF lines, but also stallions from Oldenburg have gained predominance.
