The Brandenburg State Stud Neustadt (Dosse), founded in 1788, is one of the oldest state stud farms in the Federal Republic of Germany. It has been run as a foundation under public law since 2001. The foundation's tasks include carrying out the tasks assigned under state law, in particular in the area of horse breeding, preserving the cultural and historical heritage, promoting measures in the interest of the general public, tourism as a building block of regional development and the restoration, maintenance and preservation of the listed stud farm facilities. more information: https://www.neustaedter-gestuete.de/

After the First World War, supplying water to the steam locomotives in Neustadt (Dosse) must have become difficult. The twelve-meter-high water tower near the station building, with its 100-cubic-meter tanks, had long since become too small for the station's rapidly growing needs. In Neustadt, the main Berlin-Hamburg line met with the branch to Pritzwalk and the then privately operated Brandenburg City Railway (to Rathenow) and Ruppiner Railway (to Neuruppin). Freight traffic also played a major role. Above all, however, the German Reichsbahn, founded in 1920, relied on larger locomotives with a corresponding "thirst" on the main routes, including the Class 01 express steam locomotive and the Class 44 freight locomotive. The water, which was usually stored in towers in the lowlands, therefore had to reach the locomotives with the necessary pressure and relatively quickly. Therefore, in 1924/25, the Reichsbahn had a new water tower built on what is now Köritzer Strasse in Neustadt. With a total height of 35 meters and a tank capacity of 300 cubic meters, it was significantly taller than the previous building. The tower was probably shut down around 1990. For years, Ingo and Bianca Zander from the antiques shop in Segeletz tried to acquire the unusual six-story property in order to refurbish it and use it as living space, among other things. This was reported by the Märkische Allgemeine on October 7, 2015. In 2014, the tower, along with the neighboring carpentry shop and a "tower guard building," were finally purchased. The following year, it was partially renovated, and above all, given a new roof. The 1.70 meter high spire was also replaced, which had been lying on the roof, tipped over - because the copper component had once been hit with more than 20 bullet holes, causing water to run into the structure.

The Brandenburg Main and State Stud Neustadt (Dosse), founded in 1788, is one of the oldest state stud farms in the Federal Republic of Germany. It has been run as a foundation under public law since 2001. The foundation's tasks include carrying out the tasks assigned under state law, particularly in the area of horse breeding, preserving the cultural and historical heritage, promoting measures in the general interest, tourism as a component of regional development as well as restoration, care and preservation of the listed stud farms.

The Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm II (1744/1786–1797) had two stud farms built near Neustadt an der Dosse in 1788 “for the best in the country”. The stud farm is self-sufficient with its 400 hectares of paddocks, meadows and arable land. In addition to keeping mares and stallions, it has an EU insemination station, a stallion testing institute (since 1978) and an FN riding school. In addition, the stud's own horses enable students who attend the Neustädter Prinz von Homburg School to take the elective subject of riding. Since 2001, the Brandenburg Main and State Stud has been run as a foundation under public law.

Nice place at the entrance to the forest. There is also a well-located rest area with tables and benches directly at the waterfall.

The stud farm has already produced some great prizes with the horses, such as the horses Poesie and Poetin I, to which a bronze monument is dedicated at the entrance
