Circus Krone from Germany
Greatest, best, most popular... Truly, Circus Krone deserves to live
in its own world consisting of the superlatives.
Raised by the legendary Circus King Carl Krone and respecting the old
family traditions,
this circus institution has been functioning ever since the premiere in
Bremen in 1905. It has long ago become the largest circus in Europe, recognized
and adored worldwide. Thus, it is another bright star on the German calling
card.
Circus Krone rich history
dates back to the end of the 19th century, when Carl Krone, Jr. started
working in his father's institution, Menagerie-theater. Gradually, Menagerie
turned to Circus with its own building in Munich,
celebrating the 80th birthday this year. Circus Krone presents the largest
marquee in the world:
30.000 square meters of size, with 400 inhabitants, 250 animals, 330 wagons
for living and the transportation of luggage and equipment. Tremendous
sums of money have been invested in the Circus. The shows are visited
by more than 1.2 million spectators each year, with many prominent
persons among them.
Heart of the Circus Krone lies in its artistes and animals. 40 artistes,
acrobats, animal trainers, dancers and clowns make the circus shows entertaining
and unforgettable. One can even get in touch with them via email (addresses
are given on the artistes' personal pages). Animals are the most precious
thing of the Circus. They are those who constantly draw attention to the
shows. Still, Circus Krone states that it "doesn't live OF but WITH its
animals - and primarily FOR its animals". Indeed, care about animals
amazes and leaves no space for doubts as for their well-being.
From April, 1st to November, 14th Europe's greatest Circus is visiting
more than 30 cities in Germany and Austria. The Krone Parade
show was created by Christel Sembach-Krone, directing and managing the
Circus Krone since many years. Along with tour shows, Circus Krone gives performances
in their solid building in Munich. Spectators
can visit summer and winter productions.
What makes people personally go to the shows while it is possible to watch
them on TV? The point is that TV
shows are unable to convey to the full extent the exciting feeling
of the slight danger of wild animals' presence, or suspense during the
acrobats' stunts. Circus Krone invites you to come and inhale the glamorous
atmosphere of their superb shows, professional performance of artistes
and animals.
