About us
We simply do what brings us joy
Mariola and Andreas Reitzig from Berlin run the Farm Dragefeld, they are nature and horse lovers and invite you and your family to relax here at the Farm Dragefeld!
Elzbieta-Mariola & Andreas
Mariola, *1959, grew up on the Farm Dragefeld.
“In Berlin I met Andreas, my husband – one of our first excursions together led us to “Farm Dragefeld”. My husband was immediately enthusiastic and we began to make plans to redesign the old dilapidated farm in our minds…That was in 1998. It took until 2004 before we could put our plans into action”.
Andreas, *1951, born and raised in Berlin.
“From my mother – who grew up in Berlin as the daughter of a farmer – I inherited the love for nature. Horse riding, hiking, fishing, skiing – that was my youth.
At the age of 23 I started my own business as a real estate agent. At the age of 41 I started riding again. When I came to know “Farm Dragefeld” it was immediately clear to me that it was time to start something new. I gave up the estate agent business the same year and concentrated on the project “Farm Dragefeld” together with my wife”.
Max & Daria with Conrad
Maximilian, *1997, born in Berlin and went to primary school.
Constantly commuting between Berlin and Stefanowo. Moved to Stefanowo when he finished primary school and attended school in Krzyz from grade 7 onwards. In Stefanowo I had everything a boy could wish for:
At the age of 12 I bought a Fiat 500 for 350 PLN and went on extensive excursions with my friends. Occasionally I was escorted by friendly policemen on my way back. Of course I was allowed to drive tractors, I could go fishing and accompany the hunter on his hunt. In the meantime I finished school and achieved my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at the University of Poznan. Last but not least, I got to know Daria here at the age of 13. In March 2020 our son Conrad was born.
Daria, *1997 born in Drezdenko. She met Max in 2011 at school.
Since then Daria was almost daily on the farm and has made herself indispensable. Daria recently completed her Bachelor’s degree in Hotel and Gastronomy at the University of Poznan. Daria receives the guests, hands over the rooms, takes care of the bookings, organises and prepares breakfast, lunch, coffee-cake and dinner. And last but not least, she also has to look after Conrad.
The history of the farm house
Around 1700 years ago the Sagert family settled on the Drage, at that time still a Steinborn’s estate. It was around this time that the Linden trees, now a protected species, were planted directly alongside the Drage. Since then the Dragefeld estate has been family-owned.
We are still compiling details of the eventful history of Farm Dragefeld. In the future we will add further details.
