Taxpayers' group advocates for selling off government-owned land to private entities
Future of Landgestüt Redefin in Doubt Amidst Privatization Demands
There's a heated debate surrounding the fate of Landgestüt Redefin, a historically significant estate in Ludwigslust-Parchim, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The Federation of Taxpayers (Bund der Steuerzahler MV) is pushing for its privatization, claiming it's a drain on public funds, having cost over 16 million euros over the past five years[1]. However, the SPD-Fraktion MV and the Landwirtschaftsministerium strongly disagree. They believe the gestüt is a cultural and historical treasure, a popular tourist attraction, and should remain accessible to all, not just the affluent[2][3][4].
The proposed realignment of Landgestüt Redefin, aimed at restructuring its operations, has faced a delay until mid-July 2025. Details about the nature of these changes remain vague[1]. With such strong opposition to privatization and an emphasis on public access, it seems unlikely that privatization will happen anytime soon. Instead, focus will likely shift towards preserving Landgestüt Redefin as a public and cultural asset for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern[4][5].
