Here are a few photos of Europe largest show, the Circus Krone. I took them
a few days ago in Munich, Germany on the Theresienwiese where the Oktober Fest
takes also place.
The new productions in called "Evolution" and is 3:30 hours long! Many
great animal acts and first class perfomers! This huge new tent has 4.500 seats
and was made in Italy. A true Circus Giant!

I have seen a few videos of Circus Krone on YouTube. While I was stationed in Germany, I never thought to see if any circuses were playing the area. There were good sized towns and cities in the area (Dortmund, Unna, Holzwickede, Soest, and many others). I am sure a circus had to have played Dortmund every year. it was the biggest city in the area. I was stationed in the Army there from the end of June, 1969 until January, 1971.
Another Army/circus tale: I was stationed at Ft. Jackson, SC. In 1965 I drove up to Greenville, SC to see the new edition of the Ringling show. Ada Smieja and Charly Baumann, Willy Kubler's chimps, and lots of eastern European acts. What a show, over 3 hours. Great fun for me but then I wasn't with a couple of pre-school kids.
More Army. I was stationed in Grafenwohr (permanent party 7th Army training Center) from '65-'68. The only Cirkus I saw, by chance, was Krone. It absolutely blew me away, and dang it, I had no camera.
More great pics from you Vincent, thanks.
