In 1994 we entered Polish soil for the first time. 1995 we already celebrated the official inauguration of Fallada with a residential house and three open stables for about 75 horses. From now on Fallada grew more and more into a life raft for horses, dogs, cats and many other animal welfare refugees.

Already in 1996 we started to build a second farm not far from Fallada – a refuge for horses in need of special care, which could not compete with the large herd of Fallada – Spartacus was born. Spartacus owes its name to the legendary leader of the greatest slave revolt that ancient Rome experienced. The slave Spartacus failed under the sword of Rome’s superiority – but the slave animals of man are losers from birth in a war in which they themselves never competed as our enemies. Defenceless and blameless, they too fall victim to the superiority of “man”. Thus Spartacus has become a symbol of slavery, but also of the will to survive.
