Brandenburg Main and State Stud Neustadt

The Neustädter Weihnachtsgala is the festive Advent show of the Brandenburg Main and State Stud Neustadt (Dosse) – one of Germany's oldest thoroughbred stud farms, founded in 1788 under King Frederick William II. For over 230 years, the stud has been a center for horse breeding in Northern Germany, housing around 250 horses of the English Thoroughbred, Trakehner, and Heavy Warmblood breeds. It is supported by the Stiftung Brandenburgisches Haupt- und Landgestüt (Brandenburg Main and State Stud Foundation).

Graf-von-Lindenau-Halle – The Festive Arena

The venue is the Graf-von-Lindenau-Halle at Havelberger Straße 18a – the central hall of the stud farm, which is transformed into a pre-Christmas arena during Advent: atmospheric lighting, the scent of fir trees, and a Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas market) in the foyers and outdoor areas.

Christmas Market Around the Hall

Before and after the performances, the stud grounds transform into a small Advent market. Artisans offer ceramics, candles, felt, and leather goods; culinary delights include mulled wine, children's punch, sausages, and gingerbread. Families can enter the area one hour before the show begins.
