The Brandenburger is a German breed of warmblood sport horse from the state of Brandenburg in north-eastern Germany. From the 1960s – when Brandenburg was in East Germany – it was included in the stud-book of the Edles Warmblut [de] or 'light warmblood'.[4]: 463 [5]: 169  Following the re-unification of Germany it again had its own stud-book. In 2003 it was included in the stud-book of the Deutsches Reitpferd [de], which also included the Sachsen-Anhaltiner Warmblut, the Sächsisches Warmblut [de] and the Thüringer Warmblut [de]; the Bavarian Warmblood, the Württemberger and the Zweibrücker were added to it in 2014.[6]

Like other German warmblood breeds, it is bred to compete in dressage, in show-jumping and in the three-day event.[7]: 188  The successful dressage mare Poetin was a Brandenburger.[8]
