In 1881 one of the greatest sires in the world was born. This was Amurath 1881 by Tajar 1873 out of Koheil III, bred by Weil Stud - Germany. The "surname" Weil as an honour. He was probably the most influential sire bred at 19th century Weil. Amurath Weil 1881 was utilised as sire from 1885 to 1894. He resembled his fabulous forefather to a great degree, which was no surprise since he carried 14 lines to Bairactar OA. Sadly, he also marked the end of this line at Weil. He was sold in 1895 to the Austro-Hungarian state stud of Radautz (now in Romania) because the current director of Weil did not wish to continue the close line- and inbreeding and used outcross stallions instead. In Radautz (Radauti in romanian, Radowce in polish) he was used chiefly as a halfbreed sire. Many distinguished Hannoverian horses carries his blood and he founded a sireline in that breed (it has died out as a sireline today). Since 1895 to 1910 he was the sire there of 315 foals, both purebred and partbred Arabian AMURATH died in 1910 (Domken; Fahlgreen) or 1911 (Raswan) His get is found in Arabian, Shagya, and various European Warmblood pedigrees. Through foundation stock obtained from Radautz, AMURATH 1881 blood has been part of Polish state Arabian breeding since the end of World War I
