Former cavalry school of the Wehrmacht, built starting in 1937 north of Potsdam according to the plans of the Berlin architect Robert Kisch.

The site covers about 120 hectares and its buildings, including the entrance tower and the officers' mess, are protected as historical monuments. Sold in 2008 to become a residential area, it regularly serves as a backdrop for the nearby Babelsberg studio: "Stalingrad", "Resident Evil", "Mein Führer", "Effi Briest", "Inglourious Basterds", and "Monuments Men" were filmed there.
