From Henry Schroer #3



This picture of the Elephant on the wire walk is from the 1970 era,
Circus Bush Roland. Trainer was Rupert Bemmerl and his wife Mecky was

With enlargement I can see the twin

This is the Circus Knie Elephants with Patma walking on the wires. She is 51 y.o. and is retired at the Knie's Kinderzoo in Rapperswil. This is the Knie's well known headpieces and tubs. Many animal acts owned by the Circus Knie went on tour with Busch-Roland operated by the Geier-Busch Family. This show dosen't tour anymore.
