German term

Arbeitshalle

German to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Equestrian sports
Source: Die Anlage verfügt über eine beheizte Veranstaltungshalle mit ca. 400 Sitzplätzen und einem 50 m x 55 m großen Reitbereich und erinnert durch ihre Säulen, Stuckverzierungen und überdimensionalen Holztore optisch an die „Spanische Hofreitschule“. Über einen überdachten Verbindungsgang gelangt man in die ***Arbeitshalle*** mit einer Größe von 80 m x 130 m. Der Hallentrakt wird von 90 großräumigen Pferdeboxen umrahmt.

Target: The facility contains a heated events pavilion with approx. 400 seats, and a 55 m x 55 m riding area, and, due to its columns, stucco adornments and oversized wooden doors is visually reminiscent of Vienna's "Spanish Riding School”.
Via a covered connecting corridor, you reach the ***equestrian training ground***, 80 m x 130 m in size.
The hall wing is framed by 90 roomy horse boxes.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

Sebastian Witte

Ramey Rieger (X) May 24, 2016:
Manége Refers to the animals in a circus, not only the horses - and is derived from managerie - both terms manége and managerie come from the word manage (train). The association in this context is just, in my opinion, too risky.
Julia Burgess May 24, 2016:
German usage of "Manege" Ah, I see - thanks Wendy. Can't say I know much about circuses, so couldn't say if we use manege in a circus context in (British) English - dictionary entries don't seem to support that, though.
Wendy Streitparth May 24, 2016:
And not just with reference to horses.
Wendy Streitparth May 24, 2016:
Manege frei! I think the "discomfort" is more German-influenced because manège is definitely the German for circus ring.
Julia Burgess May 24, 2016:
@ Wendy Hi Wendy - not just I understand your logic re. manège, when you give the supporting dictionary entries. I'm also puzzled by your and Ramey's reference to the circus: surely the only reason why the arena in a circus is sometimes called a manège is in reference to the horses?! Maybe this is a UK/US thing?
Wendy Streitparth May 24, 2016:
I find it rather unusual to use manège in English other than in the sense of a circus ring, but maybe that's just me.

According to Collins dictionary, manège:

1. the art of training horses and riders
2. a riding school

and the Free dictionary:

1. The art of training and riding horses.
2. The movements and paces of a trained horse.
3. A school at which equestrianship is taught and horses are trained.
Sebastian Witte (asker) May 23, 2016:
Hi Ramey We are translating website excerpts into UK English. A German stud farm is advertising its facilities to equestrians and upmarket tourists looking for exclusive accommodation.
Ramey Rieger (X) May 23, 2016:
Target audience? Americans will genereally think manége is referring to a circus arena. For equestrin sports, your term is rather a training/warm-up ring before riders compete in the main ring.

horse(-)riding hangar

It's half a century since I went horse-riding on Epsom Downs, but think verfügt über is 'features', Stuckverzierungen are stucco decorations, Hallentrakt is the hangar (shed) section (cf. Ernst's questionable DE/EN dictionary entry of wing for a Bautrakt) and umrahmt is bordered.

agree writeaway : imo training corresponds more accurately/better to the notion of 'arbeits'

manège

I'm not an equestrian, but I've heard of a manège and it could fit the bill.

Comparing the two on Google images, this looks promising.

Great! Just spotted "Pferdeboxen" as "horse boxes". I think they're more likely to be "(horse) stalls" here - otherwise you might a transport container.

Excellent. Cf. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/manege "An enclosed area in which horses and riders are trained."
